Premium Tap has obviously turned the corner into a TOP runner.
Not only didn't he bounce, he turned in on the top performances of the year today. I know he wasn't beating grade one horses, but the way he did it was awesome. Great performance!!

His probable " career top " in the BC Classic was earned with the benefit of a perfect trip. Well, he got one again, and he probably improved, just as one could argue he has been doing in every start this year.

Does this mean you two are ready to admit that Premium Tap had a non-negligible chance to win the BC Classic? Nah, I didn't think so. ;>)
