True....but I'm not sure that is much of an accomplishment. The likes of Galloping Grocer and Cowtown Cat are bested rather easily.

Don't forget about Like Now or last year's narrow miss loser Texas Wildcatter. Hell, Visionaire wasn't much horse either.

When it became clear that the inner track meet was going to be extended thru March there were really few possibilities for the Gotham, so hopefully this year will be a harbinger of things to come.

The Gotham is a better race now that it's a 2 turn 1 1/16. It's a better lead-in to the Wood. Visionaire wasn't a bad horse but he was part of a poor crop. He did win the King's Bishop and was probably better at 7f or a mile. Wasn't last year's Gotham run in the fog over a sea of slo?

It is funny you bring him up. TW raced as part of the Magna Five two weeks ago in the race from Golden Gate. Now that is a statement about quality.
