There certainly could be more talented horses though, not better bred, because that's an opinion, not a fact. If they are faster and beat him, they are more talented, not better bred.

I have no problem leaving pedigree out of the equation - the horse has a very nice pedigree, period. He clearly looks like a nice colt (at the very least), so I will clarify my comments to say that there may be some more talented horses that haven't run yet....or there may not be. We won't know until the year continues to progress.

Then I agree with that statement. I am not laying any claim to what this horse might do. My point was that just because there might be what is perceived to be "better bred" horses waiting to run, that they would beat him, they would beat him, because they were better horses.

Just so you guys know, if this horse does anything, Oracle will pull up this post and ram it down your throats, so get ready...
