Perfect trip indeed - and that performance was obviously not in the same ball park as Ghostzapper's Tom Fool in my opinion. Some of his prior races were sneaky strong - him showing a touch more speed this past week was the only surprising thing with his effort imo.

I think Benny The Bull will clearly prove to be the best one-turn miler this year for sure.

Bob Black Jack is a bit interesting. 109 Synthetic Beyer for a Jan Cal Bred 3yo is eye-catching - as is running a final time 0.73 seconds faster than Grade 1 older males in the Malibu in his start two back.

However, you need only go back to Da Stoops to find a horse with a similar profile - Da Stoops, of course, ran faster (albeit by a razor thin margin) than Proud Tower Too did in the Malibu on the same card - and he also won the SM 3yo Sprint with a big figure.

He, at best, flatlined from there.
