This race is going to come back pretty DARN fast, but IMO it was more of a glorified NW2 allowance race than a legitimate Grade 2 stakes race form a quality perspective. Plus, they absolutely walked on the front end because Sir Greeley got squeezed at the start and got taken out of his probable role as pace setter. It looked like it was going to be a slow paced race even if Sir Greeley (who looked a little faster than these early) didn't have a terrible start.
I would tend to say this performance is not quite as good as it looks on paper - though still very very good.
There were so many lightly raced high quality horses in there, someone was probably going to step forward big.
At least we have a new name for the summer stakes races like the Travers.
