And I forgot about Bayern and maybe even Honor Code, so I guess I'll leave it at between 2nd and 5th best dirt route horse.

he was the top 3 yo the first half for sure.
hell, if someone in ky wants to give him a shot, nothing lost to try. but i figure he'll be doing the smarty jones route soon enough.
but then, one could make that prediction and be right quite often with all these. it's always a crapshoot when you get to the barn.

You never know right Tapit was just an OK horse on track War Front was ordinary stakes type as well . Smarty Jones was a really good horse and so was Fu Peg both are ordinary stallion. He may be the next Danzig but that would be a long shot.

and he has to have support. the breeding isn't there, they don't own broodmares. whatever farm takes him will have some work to do. and even if they get good mares to him-it's a tremendous longshot.
fupeg has the breeding, confirmation and talent. but he's not passing that along. and more horses arelike him than like seattle slew!

He did win the KD and Preakness and is a really nice horse and he is a Pulpit lined stallion hardily devoid of talent but like a lot if not most stallions he will be up against. I like the the horse I hope I am wrong he is a lunch pail carrying, talented hard trying all the time.
