its mindboggling that anybody would consider Tueflesberg as being in the top 3 in his crop based on the Bluegrass. I guess that puts Dominican at the head of the class.

To answer the question of listing 8 other 3 yr old colts who have proven themselves better or accomplished more than Smooth Air. I think it can't be done.

Ryan,

You're confusing me... I was on this colt as a 2yo at Calder.. Tabbed him in the Hutch, Florida and KY Derbies.. Had owner Brian Burns on ATR in January.. Told everyone about Bennie Stutts 2 months ago. I don't need to be sold on him. I posed the original question to those that don't think highly of him...

Smooth Air's run a lot faster. . . Tale of Ekati's accomplished more.

Talking
tale of ekati is a failed experiment to add a little class to a tale of the cat.

At least smooth air is easy to root for.
