How you can state he is better than 2/3 of the field, especially at this point, is beyond me and undefendable. Off the bat he is not better than Bernardini, Lava Man and Invasor, and the likelihood that he is better on the dirt than all three potential Euro entries, David Junior, Dylan Thomas and Shirocco, is questable at best. He certainly hasn't shown to be better this year than Sun King as well. This is just off the top of my head.
Please feel free to fill out the rest of the field and tell me which ones he is clearly better than and why.

nor does it for any horse be it lava man either out west but does add up to entry points to the bcc in the end. and a grade 1 mediocre i will take any day.
if you think bernardini, lava man and invasor are going to be the top 3 finishers in random order- i think not.1or 2 of these will be going backwards at the 1/8 or before. will one of them win-of course, the euros are a ? but are very nice horses and could upset the whole american applecart. and i think he is still better then sun king. and why do i think he'll beat 2/3 of the field is cause he gives his best all every time, the bigger the race the better he runs excluding his last and his track record speaks for itself, hes always in the money, that is why i think he will be there i dont need to over analyze this with #s and figs and i said prob better then not absolutly.you said yourself 2 threads back a suck up 4rth or 3rd prob, so you must feel hes capable of beating 2/3 also. you know yourself this horse belongs in the bcc until he proves otherwise in it. like you said a 3rd or 4rth payday is a nice sum in the bcc.yes eventually he will no longer be able to compete at the g1 level. this may be his last year for g1's maybe 1 more if lucky, he is getting up there in age
