Last year, people (not me) thought that Driven By Success was pushed unnecessarily into races like the Carter and Met Mile. Given where he is today, maybe they were right, and he had shown more than Ironman Jon before he made his first stakes start.

Unlike Ironman Jon, DBS had distance issues, which was part of the reason why the Carter and Met made little sense for him. I also don't agree that this field is anything special beyond Bribon.
