I'm not altogether sure Super Frolic isn't vying for the #2 horse right now.
Once you get past Saint Liam, how many fearsome horses are there out there? Lava Man? He beat Super last out, but Super conceded Desormeaux lengths and didn't need to be quite that close. He sure made Lava Man run that race though didn't he? (Not factoring the three year olds as of now. Though Flower Alley will have to be factored off the Gold Cup.)
Super's Dam progeny dropped off the Tsheet for the ROTW, so I wasn't able to verify what Jerry said regarding Lindsay Frolics get liking slop. However Pine Bluff's TGI slides off slightly on Off going. The off going part of the debate is important. I don't think he was at his best in it, but folks can agree to disagree on that. He handled it yesj, as he did in his last Delaware Race. Tend to think Lord of the Game ran his 1 to perhaps as low as Zed. TGraph can figure it out. It was a legit race.
Personally, though its hindsight now, I like this horses 10 mark pedigree. Its very sneaky. Not that theres much need to scutinize it for 10 marks anymore but its certainly gotten some 10 mark horses. His problem is theres so few 10 mark races...lol
It may also be he waits on his competition a little once he heads them.
Its sneaky.
