2/16 (TAM): Sam Davis; Endeavour (Gr. III)

Smooth Air would be my choice in here, the only question is the distance. But I think he should be able to handle it, put him on top.

Wise Answer and Z Humor have already proven themselves around two turns and did it while posting faster figs than Smooth Air has ever run around one turn.
When you add in the fact that he has a definite one-turn pedigree, I think he becomes the third choice at best in this spot. He could certainly prevail, but at the relatively short price he is likely to be, I think I'll let him beat me.

I think people are underestimating Smooth Air's pedigree for routes. . .

Seems like pace ought to mean something here and it looks to me like an awful lot of runners here are going to want the lead. Smooth Air and Z Humor look like stalkers that will wait for these front running types to spend themselves. Interesting that Coa jumps from the 1 to the 6.

Hope she's alright.

Good luck, Smooth Air.

Wow, the Endeavour was quite a race!
Nice performance by the two big horses.

Lear's Princess showed a ton of guts overcoming the sluggish pace at a distance probably less than ideal for her. She'll be okay this year.

I love how people bold things in responses to jib/jab. Just because a horse wins at a certain distance, doesn't mean it's their ideal distance. I think she's better going 9 furlongs or more.
