I just don't see how anyone can think Kathmanblu and Winter Memories are equals.
I didn't really say they were equals and certainly like Winter Memories' prospects for being a good 3YO quite a bit more. Too many good McPeek 2YOs have turned into duds.

Kathmanblu ran against the bias at Saratoga in a race where I thought she should legitimately have been 60-1. She finished well after a slightly troubled break. The Jessamine was not a particularly strong race but she completely collapsed the race off the turn with that move.

My point was that the odds separation between Winter Memories and Kathmanblu is probably going to be so vast because of Winter Memories' last race. In my opinion, it was not so vastly better than Kathmanblu's Jessamine, facilitating a price difference of 5/2 vs. 8 or 10-1.

That's a fair point. I guess I just prefer other higher priced alternatives to WM.
