"HF was only .14 seconds slower than Skip Away winner Eurosilver who had a previous top of 1. HF carried 9 more pounds (about 2 pts?) than Eurosilver and their trips were not much different."
IMO, HF may have had the tougher trip.
Eurosilver was loose on the lead and unpressured for part of his race.
High Fly was chasing much faster fractions and set what appears to be a fairly quick pace himself even though he was off it. Vicarage and Mighty Mecke, who were also fairly close to that pace while wide, dropped back pretty badly. It is possible that both HF and BBB ran even better than it looks on paper.
For me the question mark is whether he wants 10F.
IMO, Zito is going to get another big effort from Sun King. Last out was a just walk in the park against garbage cans. Zito is loaded!
