He'll be OK against G3 horses ... like the ones he faced today ... but don't get too excited about his chances against real G1/G2 competition.
Anyhow ... congratulations Giacomo ... and in case you forgot ... that little enclosure they took you to after the race .... is called the Winner's Circle.

Well,at 2, the horse finished a length off of that year's 2 year old Eclipse winner(in a Grade 1 race.)At 3,he won the biggest race in America for 3 year olds(and beat the future 3 year old Eclipse Winner while doing it.)Last time I looked,that's a Grade 1 race.Today,he takes a Grade 2 race at a distance that is shorter than ideal for him.So,this is a horse who has won a Grade 1,and a Grade 2.If you choose to think he can't win at the level he has already won at,then you choose to be stupid.You think they just give out 2.2 million bucks to an average horse? A grade 3 horse?
