I agree 100%. Z Fortune looks like a "wise guy" horse to me. He was visually respectable through the final three furlongs in Arkansas, and his sire had a couple of wins in big 10f races. People will like that.

For me, he is a toss. He just ran by a couple of unimpressive 30/1 shots (Tres Borrachos and Isabull) at Oaklawn, and that doesn't impress me much. Also, despite Siphon's wins in two 10f G1s, his distance pedigree is actually pretty poor on both sides. I don't see him moving forward with the extra distance, and the loss of War Pass sure didn't help him at all.
