This was my point about Not Bourbon all along. They just kind of tried to win a decent sprint with him race after race, and never did any of those things.
Even if he is the most talented canadian 3yo, and even if he is able to eventually get 10furlongs, he is being abruptly tested.
he should probably get a layoff or point to 7 furlongs.
(now watch him take home the Can Triple crown  ) |
Solitaire seems to have the profile to get the distance, I'm willing to wager he will be the favorite for the Plate and not...Not Bourbon.
