There might, however, be one coming out. But, like others, considering the decent performance chasing by the second finisher, and his resume coming in, I will withhold judgement on Dennis of Cork. He did run well though and in a year that is light on good 3YO performances he certainly looks promising.
what would giant moon do to dennis of cork?

Wasn't Corks last race a Clue? Went four wide the whole trip, flattened a bit, but lasted. Seems many had the right choice.

He was wide but I was more impressed that he was able to close off of brutally slow fractions. You don't get that done if you are just a plodder. You have to be a legit closer to close on fresh horses in front of you.

Giant Moon had sweet trips and was able to handle Spanky Fishbien in photos. Icabad Crane is a better horse.

I think you are discounting Spanky Fishbein too easily. You must not realize that he was trying to cut into a final quarter that was just under 27 seconds.

I think Spanky Fishbein could win an Eclipse and it would still sound insulting to handle him in a photo.

Matt-O,

He does have to do something in the Gotham/Wood.. He has no graded earnings yet.
