I was about ready to put Nobiz Like Shobiz in the Hall of Fame off his debut performance---it looked a tremendous performance from all aspects, and so much more impressive when you considered that he's by a sire who's one of the last names you'd think of to get an early developing type...who'd throw an effort like that in debut.

Nobiz ran a faster time in debut, than multiple Grade 1 winner Pine Island did in victory on that same card. He was also only marginally slower than Valid Notebook...who looked like a pretty hard hitting 3yo colt at the time.

I've kind of revised my opinion some about his debut being some kind of otherworldly performance---as Pine Island probably wasn't as much as I thought she might have been, and everything she beat that day was very bad. Valid Notebook hasn't exactly gone forward any sense that race.

I've kind of backpeddled some on Nobiz since his debut---while other people seem to be jumping on his bandwagon based on his two races against stakes company.

He's obviously a very serious 3yo anyway. He will be a clear-cut favorite on Saturday.

Obviously he's a 4YO, but I have heard that Keyed Entry is making a reappearance at Gulfstream this weekend, though I don't know for sure.

Perhaps he will perform more miracles in his first start or two this year before fizzling out into non-existance.

I'm rooting for NoBiz, but Scat Daddy will be very tough this weekend. First of all, it's a mile around one turn which willsuit Scat Daddy very well, and his ride and trip in the BC were far from terrific. But, more importantly, the horses from that barn have been literally running out of their skin the last week or so at Gulfstream, and Scat Daddy rates to be more cranked up this weekend than Nobiz.
