Still early for me too but Mendelssohn's Breeders Cup Trip vs 13 others and then proving he can win on Dirt is where I am leaning at this moment.

Beat a filly , who was another 3 lengths clear of the rest of that field in Dubai

The filly that ran 2nd to Mendelssohn is 15-1 in the Oaks.
If Justify has any traffic issues I believe Smith will go at least 8 wide turning for home, no way he goes ala Bo-rail

Could not agree more. That’s the stuff that scares me. He’ll go path-of-least-resistance at all costs.

Got to wait for the post positions before can even think about this. I hope Justify and Audible take a lot of money.

Read this but don't know if its true. "No Storm Cat sire line has ever won the KD. They're 0 for 51 in the KD."
He's a big strong great looking horse but the distance gets to him? Won't be the first horse that's a monster up to 1 1/8 but then ??

A few years ago the stat was that Storm Cat anywhere in the pedigree was 0 for 40 something, then there were back to back winners in Pharoah and Nyquist (both had Storm Cat on the dam side). Now the stat has become 0 for 51 on the sire line, but he's had a few run second in the Derby.

Would you judge anyone else in the field based on how a horse that finished 18 lengths behind them ran next time out?

Well you would if you can't spell Secretariat correctly.

well when i was attending one of the 19 grades of private Christian school, with a replacement cost today of $400,000; spelling meant something..
.but..I am not a journalist or a schoolboy, and this ain't the AP wire,
fact is asking Steve to change it is just too much trouble given our checkerd past

i'll respond to this lame attack and attempt to jab at me by someone who thinks that in some mysterious way they outrank me in life with this statement.

If you can't see how an ITM performance by Rayya gives credence to the running of Mendy in Dubai, then I guess you just dont understand apriori logic.
