Col. John's races this spring were okay, and his Santa Anita Derby performance was pretty nice. But who was he really running by in that race?
He certainly might turn out to be a very nice horse, but at this point he hasn't really beaten anybody that I think is even remotely good.

FWIW, I think El Gato Malo was proving to be as any three year old running on the east coast. It's a darn shame he got hurt.

And there's no denying Bob Black Jack can sprint.

You can throw the, "Well, who'd he really beat?" line at nearly the entire three year old class this year.
