The Rushaway was Poly-Scam, he did get credit for a TGraph 4 abouts in his last Churchill start. Apparently Wide was bona fide wide that day. He was still beaten 4 lengths by Zanjero.
FYI I picked Sinister Minister last year. I could certainly be wrong. Its just my very strong opinion that this horse relishes poly. He gets beat by daylight plus on dirt and wins on poly. Last year, pre geld, he was close to the pace in his poly Keeneland race. The truth is he's always run fairly close to the pace. (but for slop), Which indicates hes got a bit more speed than given credit for and that the pace in the Bluegrass was more legitimate than generally thought, but I don't think hes near the same horse off poly-scam.
He's obviously not a bad horse. Just don't think he's gonna measure up when the going gets as tough as its gonna get.
