Their top dirt races don't compare to ours, and your point is taken.
Do you not consider him to be competitive at all with this field? You think he will pull a Cowtown Cat and get last?

Obviously it will help to see how the field assembles but I honestly doubt he will be competitive.
He doesn't really need the lead, and just took advantage of the dearth of speed in the Westchester, but it was not a strong bunch ( save Sun King ) and Utopia worked out a VERY advantageous trip.
Last? I don't know but I wouldn't be shocked. Though, if Silent Name runs, he may be a strong contender for that spot.
