Stardom Bound was average today, no one here can seriously think she ran well today, look at that final time.

i think POTN was more impressive, and that he faced a tougher field.

Agreed.

And, and, he overcame the curse.

I agree that he was more impressive. I don't know about it being a tougher field though. Papa Clem ran second. He was just coming off of a 1/2 length maiden win in his third try. I Want Revenge has only won a maiden race and that came in his fourth try. His big claim to fame was his close finish to Pioneer in the Futurity. Bittle Road has three wins, all on grass and didn't run all that great in the Futurity. Brother Keith has only a maiden win. What this race showed was that the form of the Futurity held but what it doesn't show is how good those horses will be when they face outside competition.

And if both of them were in with Matto Mondo, a no name grass horse they both would have been drown. I would actually be more optimistic about the runner up in the Lewis.
