Normally a 2YO who won the Champagne as impressively as he did would be the 3YO to watch. But this guy has been buried in the minds of most handicappers. Trained steadily after the Breeders Cup and ran well in the Holy Bull. Somebody else just ran better.
Is he another Favorite Trick or Fly So Free. Maybe....Afleet Alex ran well and often at 2 and seemed just fine at 3. The pace scenario tomorrow will be different than the Holy Bull. But who stalks who probably wont. This could be a riders race. And interesting both of these 2 ML Favs started their careers going 4.5 early @2. Solid, sound.and consistent. Good luck tomorrow everyone!!
