If you then look at what Epicenter beat in the Travers, weren't those the same two horses that Taiba beat in Pennsylvania? And although it was beyond his best distance, Jack Christopher ran a respectable race in the Haskell and he was also beaten by Taiba and I think he's the best horse that either of them beat outside of (and maybe including) Cyberknife.

Epicenter, meanwhile, in his LA starts beat: Rich Strike (KY Derby), Cyberknife (AR Derby, Haskell), Pappacap (G1/G2 placed), Smile Happy (G1 placed), Zandon (Blue Grass), Tawny Port (Lexington, Ohio Derby), Slow Down Andy (Sunland Derby, DM Derby, multiple G1 placed), Rattle N Roll (American Derby, St Louis Derby, Oklahoma Derby). In those races, Epicenter also defeated subsequent or recent allowance winners Zozos, Kupuna, Pioneer of Medina, and Galt, all of whom may progress into top horses in the older horse division this year. |
