Nafzger said there are 4 possibilities for SS's next race: Mass Cap at Suffolk(?);
Hawthorne Gold Cup; Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont and Kentucky Cup at Turfway.
SS ran so well in the Derby after a synthetic prep in the Blue Grass that it
would not surprise me to see him turn up in the Turfway spot.
What a great job by Nafzger. BC Juvenile, KY Derby, Jim Dandy, Travers, likely
favorite for the BC Classic in what will be his last career race before heading
to stud.
A tough one for the "Greatness Committee"-- a tremendous resume, yet he has not
run particularly fast, nor beaten very good horses (Any Given Saturday may turn
out to be the best of the 3YOs that he has beaten).
SS needs to beat 2 quality fields of older horses in his last two races to be
remembered as a "great horse" as opposed to merely a "great 3YO".
