I didn't learn a lot about MYB going 9 or 10, and as a default, he's still a 1M/7F in my book.
I agree with you about the pace dynamics. Diversify got to play catch-me-if-you-can, Dalmore is not a serious graded stakes horse and had to work on the 1st-turn. Tapwrit would be interesting if he were a price in a marathon race. Backyard Heaven has teased us, but realistically has yet to establish himself as a serious graded stakes horse either.
Diversify is the coolest horse in the world, but he's still a long shot to continue this brief 'dominance' of the division, and the Suburban was the time to have bet him. |
The problem with modern racing is that Diversify would be perfect to come out to DMR and face Accelerate for the title of king of the handicap division. But you know, it's just IMPOSSIBLE to run a fit horse on 2 weeks rest.
