This is the "Strub Series" after all... It has a rather time-tested aspect to it.

I really don't get the last time to get a G1 on him against 3 year olds. Is anyone going to think of Papa Clem as a great 3 year old. Moreover his best chance to get a book full is to be an excellent 4 year old and potentially be arounf for a BC race. Will see I realize my opinion is deemed moronic by many.
