Nadal looks good but I’m doubtful he is as good as that race makes him look. I think Silver Prospector and Three Technique are probably not as good as anyone thought and Basin is hard to judge because he was coming off such a long layoff.

Just my opinion but I think Authentic will prove to be better than Nadal. Obviously, I could be wrong.

Basin didn’t look like he got any bigger. I thought the mud yesterday would be his best chance, I doubt we see him on the trail. Authentic is pretty good, but last time was the last time he beats Honor AP. The last time was also a cool stones song that Grateful Dead played very well out of Space or as an occasional encore like in Foxboro summer tour 1990 before Brent passed away. RIP.
