Watchmaker ranks him well down too. Not sure who reached the conclusion first that Foggy was vastly overrated, but its not like the top of Mt. Everest or getting to the North Pole. Who's first isn't as important. Whats important is reaching the conclusion on race day.

Soviet Problem was a nice filly if memory serves. Cherokee Run was a nicer colt though.

Foggy did ship around last year, but he shipped into weak 3YO sprint races. He faced one legitimate horse in Egghead. Granted he did beat him, but he won using his preferred running style. As far as Foggy being "over the top" for the B.C. Sprint, Gilchrist and others are free to interpret the loss for themselves. Some think he lacks the fire in the belly unless he gets it his own way and that loss to Carthage was another loss against a horse he couldn't outquick. Will he outquick them today at perhaps Odds On? Guess we'll see.
