Parasitic? If that was a trip for a horse who capitalized on circumstance then I'd hate to see what would have to happen to a horse for you to think he encountered trouble.

He may have had traffic trouble, but the race still fell apart into his hands. Everyone in front of him was gasping for air in the stretch.

He may win the Preakness (I hope he does), but there's no way in hell he's getting 12 furlongs.

His past performances take precedence over his breeding IMO. He hung badly in the AR Derby and got his last quarter yesterday in about :26.55.

In fairness to SS though, he really wasn't that far off a suicidal pace.

The pace Conveyance set over that surface was crazy. That was one of the better 40+ length loss performances I've seen in awhile.

This is why I said Noble's Promise ran well, and our resident genius handicapper disagreed.

I'd love to see Super Saver's splits if anybody already has them. I'm too lazy right now.
