Probaly would benefit greatly from being gelded but, has too much Pedigree and talent to be cut. His Dam side is very strong.

Bottom line: I think he is the most talented horse in the field....But a big bet against at short odds.
His last race wasnt all that impressive while beating absolutely nothing.
The only horse to beat Aff so far is Golden Mexico, who was sent off as the Fav in a Stakie at Arl against Giant Oak. After setting slow fractions on a lonely lead he folded like a soup sandwich in the lane.
I'm not sure how good this horse is; and he might not be much.

But, I believe, that basing an opinion on the KEE race is the wrong way to go.
He got all the worst of it in terms of setup and ground covered (running 39ft or 4.5 lengths more than than the winner) in that race and certainly ran better than Golden Mexico. The only lesson coming out of that one was that GW was a tossin the AP race.

I'm not a fan of Affirmatif either.
