Come on, if you are going to throw up a post like that, at least look the race up and throw the actual names in there.

I can't remember the name of the jock.......but he wasn't a very big guy I can tell you that.
Know who he means now?

I put him on my top5-list in part for this reason. I don't think he is one of the top five 3yos in training right now overall, but in terms of having the ability to get 10f effectively, I think he is perhaps more likely to do that than others who may be more talented at say......8.5f.
Am I right? Who knows.

He really has done enough.

I think u want to see that a horse has speed to win races, can develop fast enough to win early, and can win in graded company. Ravel has done all three. I don't think he's as good as some others but with his pedigree and what he's already done, what more is there really to prove?
