PG....Showing Up is very good...and he may prove to be even better this year as 4YO. But as of now, he has beat nothing but 3YO's. I believe it was Cacique that ran past Showing Up like he was standing still.... in the Man O War...

Of course Cacique is retired....how forgetful of me. But still, IMO, it is hard to label him #1 when he has yet to win against older horses.

i see what your saying, i just think based on how weak the division is and how overrated english channel is, i think it has to be showing up, unless you want to put the tin man in the number 1 spot, which i would not argue

The Tin Man can certainly be considered for the #1 spot...no denying that.
