Chris,
You make some very good points and I am inclined to agree. The Saarland question of two preps, one at just a mile also bothers me, but then I thought " didn't Conquistador Cielo win the Belmont off a mile prep and only one weeks rest?"
When you look at it that way, and Shug's a decent trainer with a regally bred horse, its not so bothersome.
However, Came Home is faster. If he wasn't cranked up for the SA Derby, how good is he?
He's a dual qualifier (as is Saarland), has a win at 9f and gets 4 weeks rest. @!#$ happens (Repent) but if this one makes it to Louisville, he will be one tough horse to beat.
