I would book that regarding Bribon. I think he's phenomenally average and this year's rendition of the Met was one of the worst I've ever seen.
Think of this, since the Met Mile this is what the 2-3-4 finishers have come back to do:
Smooth Air- 2nd at 7/5 in Salvatore Mile, 7th in Whitney
Driven by Success- Pounded by Munnings in the Tom Fool, 2nd against NY breds in John Morrissey
My Pal Charlie- badly beaten 3rd in the Cornhusker at Prairie
I suppose Bribon is likely to get his next opportunity in a race that he can win in the Cigar Mile but I'd still bet against him winning a GI.
