I liked Stormello's race in the FOY enough to play him back in the FD, but in hindsight, I believe I screwed up the analysis of the FOY. The pace was quick, but I believe inside speed was a bit of an advantage that day. I think it more or less offset the fact that he was used hard on the lead. I believe Scat Daddy, who I originally thought had a good pace set up to run at (which he did) actually ran quite well that day because of both the ground loss and because he was on the worse part of the track.
I now think there is little chance of Stormello getting 10F against this quality of horse unless someone tells all the jocks that CD installed Poly and they crawl early. ;-)
I think the FD was the more honestly run race in terms of measuring those Florida horses.
