Silver Charm said no one has run a 1 1/8 faster. Not true - Rockport Harbor did it as a 2 YEAR OLD.
Several of you compare this horse favorably to Eurosilver, and rightly so. BUT, who the hell is Eurosilver. Granted he's an older colt but he's yet to prove he's of the first rank.
To me, the only thing impressive about High Fly is, he survived that fast pace. What did he beat?
When they get to the 1/8 pole at CD on May 7 I think HighFly will be looking for a taxicab.
Maybe Rockport Harbor is out of the picture or, in the picture when he should be out. This started out looking like a good bunch of 3yos but J. Brown's field bet is looking better all the time.
I have a friend who has Lost In The Fog & Rockport Harbor in the second pool at what he thought were good odds. These horses are so fragile maybe everything but the field is an underlay in futures.
