Is he? Don't get me wrong. I think he wins here but when you look at it subjectively, I don't know that it can be said he "should" as if he's the clear best horse. In Gemologist, you have a horse that's won a grade one race and a grade two. Payner doesn't have a graded stakes win yet. In Gemologist, you've got a horse that's won five of six races and over $700k while Paynter has lost more races than he's won and he's earned $350k. I think if you took the names of the two horses off of the pps and asked people which horse should be favored, Gemologist might get the call.
