This is a very serious 3YO.

was thinking the same thing myself.
that was a very nice looking performance.

May make the Preakness extremely interesting.

He inhaled that field and won laughing....and J Be K is no bum.

23.91 with a tail wind? (at least cross wind)

If only Stronach ran his racetracks half as well as his breeding operation.

He went into this race with a form fairly similar - if not a little more impressive - than the one Bernardini took into the Withers...and now will take the same kind of form into the Preakness. He's not a son of A. P. Indy and might not be open to the same kind of development Bernardini was...but he's run outstanding again.

In that allowance win one back prior to today, Samba Rooster is a real horse - who was exiting the most vicious pace of the meet going a mile at Gulfstream, and he got it all his own way and Harlem Rocker just flat wore him down stylishly.

He's part of the Adena Racing Venture II. The folks that bought into that have to be thrilled.

Loved him today, and thought he was the 2nd best 3YO at GP this year, but the Lit De Justice on the damside doesn't scream distance.

Stronach has some breeding operation, and that isn't even including the Ghostzappers which haven't hit the track yet. Macho Uno sweeps the 3YO stakes today... and Milwaukee Brew got a stakes winner today at Calder, on top of it all.

Harlem Rocker got a 106 Beyer.

Tricky track, as the first two races ( at 6F ) were outrageously fast, then the track may have slowed down. Still, could J Be K have gotten a 100 or so? He looked to really be struggling a bit the last eighth.

Regardless, I will be very surprised if he doesn't go to the Preakness.

Wow great insight. A horse beats 3 others and now is serious. Then again, we are grasping for any hint of talent from any 3 year old this year. It is slim pickings out there.
