The 3rd place finisher First Dude is 1-for-9 and has one of the nicest resume's ever for a horse who still has his N1X allowance condition.


Or maybe you prefer Lookin at Lucky's 102 Beyer Preakness win - where he beat such wonderful competition as First Dude (great resume for an N1X'er!) Jackson Bend (0-for-6 this year and 5th in the Pegasus most recently) Yawanna Twist was 4th beaten less than 2 lengths in the Preakness - and he's yet to win anything other than a NY Bred MSW and NY Bred N1X, both at 6fs on the Inner dirt at AQU.
Look, go back in time during the middle of the year of most 3yo's and start picking apart the accomplishments of the horses who so and so beat at that moment in their careers.

I'll take a resume over a flash in the pan "two race top beyer number" horse anyday.
