He's already racing against the toughest competition that he's going to face come BC day IMO. He's already finished ahead of Curlin, while both coming off of the shelf. AGS was prepped and ready for this last one obviously. He finished well with SS in the Derby, a race that many pitch due to it's unique style. There isnt an older male or female out there that would send tremors through his camp, as they believe he has been running against the best all year. (save Turfway race)
To say that he's on a different "tier" than the other 3 yr. olds is laughable. He's right there with them all. I guess we'll have to wait and see for the last weekend in OCtober.
