Uncle Mo faster than BC Classic field on Ragozin

Bringing-up Arazi is risky. Arazi ran pretty big in the Derby considering how he was brought into the race.

If the Derby was at a mile, you would have a point. How about Johannesburg, one prep, well you can win the derby on 2 preps now. He simply didn't project into a 3 year old, nor was he a 1 1/4 horse. Give them 2 preps and I would still have my doubts.

If I remember correctly Arazi also came off not only one prep but had some surgery as well after his Juvenile win.

Arazi's 'prep' was no more than a mere public workout. It was a gallop against the equivalent of 50k claimers.
