Majestic Warrior rises to the top

He wins the Hopeful going away. He looks like a contender, not a pretender, at 3.

It was just a 4 horse field. It's too early to say who's a contender next year.

[sumitas]

I think the other 3 are pretenders.

congrats to bill mott, who capped off a great saratoga meet with a win in the hopeful.

that race really fell apart, he might get better with distance but this win was hardly inspiring.

People often seem very quick to begin talking about a nice 2yos campaign as a 3yo months before it even begins. I understand it to some degree, given people's obsession with the TC, but what is wrong with watching the rest of his 2yo campaign first? He looked pretty good today and looks like a very serious candidate for the BCJ, and perhaps the eclipse award for top 2yo. Speculating beyond that at this point seems...well...a bit too speculative.

i'm impressed that an ap indy won this race, his usually take a bit of time to come to hand. he's one to watch for certain. heck, the other two are as well--one loss doesn't make either of them a stinker.
