I'm not especially high on Showing Up, mostly because I simply feel we need to see more, but I'm not so sure it isn't at least POSSIBLE that he could close the gap to the elders this year. I think they are reasonably good, and deeper than the ones we have had in recent years, but I wouldn't exactly call them a fearsome bunch. 3YOs can improve a lot in a short period of time. I know that I didn't think Kitten's Joy would be able to do what he did late in the year at this point two years ago.
Once again, I am not a HUGE fan of Showing Up, mostly because I think he is being overrated based on his win two weeks ago, but I am also not ready to preclude AT LEAST the possibility that he is on equal ground with older horses by the Fall. I'm open minded on this horse.
