Affirmatif can't be a decent horse? I don't like Battle of Hastings is by any means a star or a good bet in this race, but he's a decent horse. Doesn't El Crespo or Florentino have some potential? Step back and look at these horses for what they are, mid-season 3YOs. Gio Ponti didn't look like a world beater when he was entered in this race last year.

We'll have to disagree on this one. Here were my thoughts after the Colonial Turf Cup:

So you're going to have a tough time convincing me now that it wasn't a horrible race.
