Overated / Underated... the anti-HOY Awards (so far...)

[horseofcourse]

Overrated--Flower Alley. Yeah, he won the Salvatore Mile receiving a Funny Cide-like Beyer. They talk like he is in the top 2 male handicap horses in the east. I need to see a lot more.

Cause to Believe. He stinks.

Brass Hat. Chance to rise in the Foster. He stunk.

Bob and John. He stinks.

Underrated--Invasor. His two American races both top notch.

Lava Man. I don't care about only in Cal. Grade 1's on both dirt and turf. don't see that often. That speaks for itself.

Barbaro. Turf and dirt. See Lava Man.

Showing Up. Turf and dirt. See two above.

Steppenwolfer. He stinks and is slow, but he runs the exact same race exactly, every time out. There is something to be said for that. A good skill.

Gorella. Excellent horse who competes with the top boys.

Honey Ryder. Always runs well.

Discreet Cat. Hasn't run yet, but destroyed Invasor in Dubai. Counts for something.

Funny Cide. See Steppenwolfer comments. Just from the opposite end of the pack. And many thought he was done.
