But ... then again ... we've been told that there is no argument.
Coming from you this is comical. When they asked Cornelio, the jockey of both, he said Showing Up is a superhorse and After Market is a nice horse but lacks the explosiveness and class of Showing Up. After Market is targeting a 4yr old season. He is likely to never face older horses this year. Just one race back After Market nearly took out the entire field. Maybe next year.

What's comical is ... that you aren't aware of the most established truism in thoroughbred racing ... namely ...

... that the best place to clean up as a bookie ... is in the jockey's quarters.

Yup ... Cornelio Velazquez (!) is the supreme authority on thoroughbred quality. Now that's funny!
