Deep and nice looking group of 3yo’s, many that appear to have plenty of upside. Hieroglyphics keeps improving for Pletcher. Benefactor, well bred for grass, moves to lawn for Maker who has been consistently successful with this move. Master Merion took a while to break through, but ability to rate some in MDN-breaker bodes well for added distance. Capitane is out of a full sister to Justenuffhumor, thereby a half to Dreaming of Anna & Lewis Michael. Could leap forward on lawn for Hennig.
