By the way, did you think Most Distinguished maybe turned a corner or just met a very weak field. I want to believe the former but am inclined to think the latter. He has run some reasonably fast races before.
Hopefully
Zito must have been thrilled to finally get the win. His first race behind Pegasus Wind looked rather promising and then...

Dont forget Ramsgate if Bobby ships him East for Met Mile. Or possibly a distance challenged 3YO ala Holy Bull will point for it.....that would be interesting

Think you might be reading wrong or what I wrote was confusing. Meant Holy Bull for 3YO aspect not distance challenged aspect. And I am well aware of his 3YO accomplishments
