I thought the #2 was very impressive in his debut and if he really does go off as the third choice - like he is on the ML - I think he could be worth a wager.

1/5 odds say that the winner of this race or a horse that's a late running second will generate a lot of early hype but will be nowhere near the winners circle come any important races for 3yo's this year, with the possible exception of the Belmont Stakes.

It's that time of year. Every win in even psuedo-impressive fashion by a 3YO at any level generates hype. We've a long a way to go.

It always seems to generate more hype when it's a 9f maiden or allowance winner at Gulfstream because people start thinking that if they can go that far early, 10f will be right up their alley, especially for a late closing runner. It just seems to me though, that the majority of winners and closers of these types of races are slow grinders that can put out a series of 24-25 second quarters or one-run horses with no speed. There's the occassional exception but for the most part, you don't get the kinds of horses that have that sort of push button acceleration that you like to see in really good horses.
