He said in a news story recently that he was thinking of pointing Big Drama to the Carter. Apriority was awfully impressive yesterday, that's for sure.

As far as Calibrachoa, realistically, he capitalized on one of the best pace setups a horse could ever get on the inner track. He's certainly a nice horse but I can't see him standing up to tougher graded stakes races without similar circumstances.
