Well said. Class is not just defined by determination near the wire, but also the ability to put in bursts of speed to avoid trouble, hit a moving hole, dart to the better part of the track, etc. As I mentioned in a previous post, it also involves not shying away, or becoming intimidated in between foes, or not extending when in close quarters on the rail.
Still don't agree with your GZ opinion. The horse is still unproven around 2 turns versus top level animals. The competition in the Iselin was a joke, however he did look very impressive.
Good Luck,
