Disappointing; somewhat. Had doubts this one could get 10, except under perfect conditions. Showed, clearly, that he's not a 10F horse. In fact, he's probably not even 2nd on Saturday if Fly Down changes leads. Assuming there's pace/ample moves in the Classic, Blame figures to get the lead at some point in the stretch and then get run down by a 'genuine' 10F horse. A definite bet against in the Classic. If Zito is able to straighten out the footwork issues of FD (or take the easier way out and change jocks) FD will finish ahead of Blame. As will any other legit 10F horse(s).
