Does this sound like a horse you should have confidence in?

To me he sounds like a horse of some ability, that for some reason rarely shows up on the racetrack, and has given zero indication that he will relish a distance. You need to do better than " I like his sire therefore I like him " to get me to fall into line.
Had he been pointed to the Delta Jackpot rather than the Breeders Cup Juvy, he most likely would have already be in, and the conversation would be taking a different tone in my opinion.

He's at least as talented as Gourmet Dinner, who's connections have since made a mockery of.
