Best horse right now? Not even a contest, Gun Runner would not even be a contest between him and Martini Glass. Clearly the distance was a problem for her the other day. Luckily, she was in a light spot. If the Personal Ensign (one of her next possible starts) was not turned back to 9 furlongs in 2012, I would say she would be a vulnerable favorite. After seeing that performance, depending on who shows up she will still be over bet unless her 3rd race back shoots her some improvement, which could happen. The fillies and mares can drop edge in a heart beat....that was a hard race for her. The horses in that race would be staring at Gun Runners ass end all the way around........RIGHT NOW, its not even close. The last two were supposed to be tune ups......it gets tougher from there for her. There's probably only a couple or a few horses that can possibly beat Gun Runner right now and Songbird as great as she was.......ain't one of them. She needs a "bounce back" performance to even consider the boys right now.
