Prussian and Cannonball are much more talented than anything he faced in that allowance race.
Did you watch the race? He never was asked or extended, he GALLOPED.

And how doesn't that time favor, half a furlong is 110 yards, if I picture a horse running on a football field, at full speed, my guess is that is about 6 seconds...Cannonball ....Prussian, I am not sure about.

And do you see the trip he is going to get in this race, I really hope that the overmatched Gomez horse stays in the race to keep Prussian honest....
