Is this yet another thread where people disagree and you take the other side for arguments sake?

It sounds like you think he has a “shot”. is your money gonna be on him Saturday, is he a horse you’re gonna use? If so why? Don’t just take the counter side of everyone’s opinion for the sake of arguing. Sure his FIRST AND ONLY race was a good one, nothing eye-popping, awesome, good for him and good for his owners. If I can recall, 90% of that field didn’t have one start under their belt, which goes without saying but it was also a maiden field? Sure he can improve, but in a lot of people’s minds its not likely you go from a maiden to being a grade 1 winner in your next start at the age of 3, at least anywhere but cali. Your on paper argument doesn’t hold much weight considering your entire basis of this horse is off 1 race… a maiden victory. 87 beyers can be had by 20K claimers at the spa, does that mean on paper they’re as good as G2 and G1 horses?
Keep in mind horses also tend to bounce off big efforts as well. I, like most who have replied, think he has an uphill battle. I wont say impossible, b/c nothing Is impossible in this sport, just not likely

Go back and read the thread... Multiple people said he has a shot, including Steve. I am the only one who was insulted.
