K:
The Uncle Sigh "pair" was packed with 3w/4w, no? Sam #s also a little packed?
Sigh's running his worst career race and pairing?
The most important pattern to me is winning consistently. Saaamraat has done
that. Nobody understands better than me that the quality of horseflesh he has
conquered is not Triple Crown quality
Saaamraaat is consistently faster. Sigh and Saam raced head to head 3 times,
the first 2 over the inner course, virtual match races with some Winter
Aquedrek behind them. As I said Sam showed me more in the Wood than he did in
winning the match races with Sigh. Some rating. Some energy at the end. We're talking subjective here.
The Horizontal Herd may grow to 7 or 8. Only room for one of these 2 NYBs in
the Herd. Sam's been faster thus far.
