And if both of them were in with Matto Mondo, a no name grass horse they both would have been drown. I would actually be more optimistic about the runner up in the Lewis.

these colts are not even really three yet, i don't think you can compare them to older at this point...they haven't even defined themselves just yet vs their peers.

Actually, Matto Mondo won the classic Polla de Potrillos (G1-Ch) as a 3yo down in Chile, over 1700m (8.5f). He won a G1 and a G3 at two, in fact, may have been champion 2yo down there. He was off for a year while his new owners waited for him to grow up so that the 6 months difference in age would not be a factor. He finally seems to be finding his form again, after 4 races where his new barn was trying to get to know him. (No, he didn't take to the hill or blinkers.)

I wish they'd buy Zenyatta.

"I think that's what the racing fans want, to put her against the boys in the Santa Anita Derby," Iavarone said. "I don't know what else she has to prove against the girls. She is special. Real special."
