I assume he meant in the third tier of top 3YOs.

As for Smooth Air, while I agree that it's funny that all the Smooth Air fans disappeared after the Derby, but not unexpected, I don't see why he shouldn't be pointed for the Kings Bishop. His Hutchenson was OK, albeit on a wet track, and the upside to winning a race like that is huge. It is, quite simply, the race he belongs in. That's not to say he will win.......but if you owned him wouldn't that at least be your goal?
