Summer Bird and Jazil seemed to do alright.

Jazil got a smoking pace.

If Dullahan gets that type of pace, I think his main competition is as likely to be a nag like Street Life as it is to be anyone of the big 3 horses.

With you there...it is just hard to figure out the pace because who knows which one of these pinheads will either go early for no reason or make an early move because he had no clue how big the track really is.

street life's numbers have been improving each race nag may not be an accurate adjective for this improving colt

A couple of months ago, the hype on Street Life, due to his last-to-first/on the wrong lead rallies, was at massive proportions. It's only just that he's now getting the "nag" backlash he deserves. He's failed miserably when stepped up in class, which was predictable, given the fact that he had to retreat to the inner track at Aqueduct to break his maiden.

He failed to catch the near 50-1 Right To Vote, stretching out from 6.5f, in the Peter Pan last out despite getting a breakneck :45+ and 1:09+ setup.

Mercifully, he has Mr. Prospector blood coursing through his veins, so he does have some shot.

dont you think he moved to late that race he had planty of steam post finish and i say this redboarding that he cost me that trifecta with that late burst

He always moves late. He has no speed and has no pronounced turn of foot. He takes all day to get in gear. The jock was all over him well before the top of the stretch in the Peter Pan, the horses stopped to a walk in front of him (Right To Vote took 39s to complete the final 3/8s) and he couldn't make a dent.
