We will settle this on the track at Belmont this fall.

so what your saying is, you can't compare the two horses???? That's what I have been trying to tell you all along.

Trust me, I have Twilight Meteor already on my watch list. Any horse that closes the way he did on Sunday, into those SLOOOOOW fractions and comes from last to first, you know he has the potential to be something special.
