I'd be very careful factoring the pace as "quick" when Gulfstream is wet. Theres been more than enough freaky wet track results and "on their face" scalding fractions to be skeptical about fast pace from those races. In other words, Barbaro has not seen a true pace scenario with better dirt horses yet.
Quick run to the first turn. Careful trainer. If he's not 4th or 5th four wide on the bend I'll vote for Republicans again in '06.
