Barbaro was a pretty decent turf horse in the interim, and Gio Ponti's win in this race two years ago off a single maiden race at Belmont was very impressive.

Interactif's two races have been impressive (given race dynamics, his win at Saratoga may have been better), but to be honest, I'm more interested in seeing how Pletcher's other horse, Eskendreya (won Pilgrim off the turf), develops than this one.
