further ahead than war emblem, who didn't really make a splash til the illinois derby. also a 'have to have the lead' type, so not nearly as tractable as cc. how ironic that in todays derby, war emblem wouldn't make the field.
i think he's better than funny cide. smarty was done by now, he had a good spring followed by...nothing.
i'd say he's most comparable to big brown.
