That he didn't lose significant ground through the lane suggests that there wasn't all that much running going on in front of him.

good point. if he didn't run a lick, but lost by that margin....the horses in front of him didn't seem to run much more than he did. i wouldn't cross dublin off any list just yet.

Discreetly Mine is talented, but he's not stretching out. I was rooting for him big time, but when he took the lead he just sort of treaded water instead of spurting away. This colt might be a nice sprinter...........but even a mile is beyond his capacity.

He's a 2yo going a one-turn mile ... it's too early to say that.

Those are the kind of things that will leave you with egg on your face more often than you think.
