That matchup is reasonable, however, as they are both similar horses who have shown similar ability. Pine Island will, at most, be only a little shorter than Balletto.

The match-up vs. Asi Siempre is puzzling as they both have similar running styles and Pine Island will be a significantly lower price. That one will change dramatically.

It is dangerous to use specific opinions when looking at matchups.
