Weren't a lot of people touting him as an up-and-comer last season after a similar effort in Regal Ransom's merry-go-round Super Derby?

Sure he was, and why would that 750k Grade 1 be a prep? He was in it to win it.
Im just not crazy about him. He is in the bottom 5 of BC Classic winners all time. Im waiting for PP's so I can do a list....
But just since 2000 he is not better then... IMO he is not better then Zenyatta. Not better then Ravens Pass. Not better then Curlin, likely not better then Hard Spun or Street Sense, both in that 2007 Classic. Kinda reminds me of Invasor, not sure he is better, 100% not better then Bernardini who ran 2nd. Not better then Saint Liam, not better then RHT who scratched morning of. Not better then Ghostzapper and about 5 others in that 2004 race. Not better then Pleasantly Perfect. Maybe, MAYBE BETTER THEN VOLPONI who ran some huge beyers in some big spots. Not better then Tiznow, not better then either Euro Tiznow beat, and not better then a bunch of horses out of those 2000-2001 Classics.
