He probably is......but the real question is how much better.

If this was his final prep it would be cause for concern. However considering it was his first race in three months and he had to press a fast horse and he put that horse away and won I think it was a good effort.

It's early on the trail and we still have Hello Broadway going two turns at Tampa in the TB Derby. The FOY might have a runner or two that are serious racehorses with a legiit Derby chance.

Why did you dislike Old Fashioned race? He probably progesses off this race.This was the first time he was near a fast early pace and he beat the winner playing Silver City's game.
