Agree that he will do well because there truly is not much out there. The Tin Man is a year older and that could be considered a question mark. Miesques Approval's comeback left alot to be desired. Lava Man will go turf to dirt but is a possibilty. English Channel seems to be a contender but where is he? I think Becrux might make some noise but he is a miler.

SO all in all SHowing Up should be a major player in alot of Grade I's this year. Do also agree that mile and a half is NOT his best distance but horse has alot of guts and determination and that matters. Was troubled also by news that California racing officials were thinking of having him scratched before Hollywood Derby because he seemed muscle sore I believe. Heard that in interview with Barclay Tagg on local OTB channel awhile back.
