Clearly not Grade 1 horses? Hold on.
Seeing as CAJUN BEAT won the 2003 Breeder's Cup with a -2.5, and MIDAS EYES won the 2004 Forego
with a - 3.75, and OUR NEW RECRUIT won the $2 million NAD Sprint in Dubai last year with a 1, I'd say four
of the nine horses who competed in the G2 General George are capable of running well at the G1 level:
- DON SIX came off a -2 and -4 [and may become SHAKE YOU DOWN]
- PRIVATE HORDE came off two -3's [but clearly needs his Turfway vet to run at that level]
- GATOR'S N BEARS has run two -3's and five minus numbers in a row.
- SARATOGA COUNTY [who won because of the four pounds he gave the winner and/or
because his trip didn't take him 5-wide on the turn like last time]
In any case, we'll see.
