I agree that he was more impressive. I don't know about it being a tougher field though. Papa Clem ran second. He was just coming off of a 1/2 length maiden win in his third try. I Want Revenge has only won a maiden race and that came in his fourth try. His big claim to fame was his close finish to Pioneer in the Futurity. Bittle Road has three wins, all on grass and didn't run all that great in the Futurity. Brother Keith has only a maiden win. What this race showed was that the form of the Futurity held but what it doesn't show is how good those horses will be when they face outside competition.
