No it isn’t fair to say. It was on a sloppy track and Gunite even got weight from the winner. He’s won all of his races around one turn and is winless in I think two starts around two turns. In no way do I think he’s a world champion. But I’m also not impressed with the horses pointing to the Classic. I don’t think he wins either race but one is worth $6 million and the other isn’t. I don’t see where they have much to lose trying the Classic. I think this is a perfect year for a long shot winner.

Unless there is a stallion deal orchestrated (is there) he has a race to lose which he will as well as not building towards a 4-year-old handicap stallion building campaign.
