If Smooth Air can't run one two in this race will he be returned to the proper sprint distances?

I like Cherokee Artist, hopefully at a price. Think he might turn out to be a nice three-year-old.

Visionaire would've been the worst of three Derby horses in the field.

Yes, running against Z Fortune twice, and finishing behind Z Fortune twice does indeed make you at least 15 lengths superior.

He's ok.


Better than Smooth Air though. Probably the same as Z fortune...runs a good race once in a while.

Smooth Air is an ok sprinter. Visionaire would own him going a mile and longer.

I'm not a Stutts lover at all - it's more that I think Visionaire is awful.

His Fla. Derby and Swale weren't that bad - he's ok for this year - nowhere near the top but he's useful enough. . .
