TCE could be legit, but in my opinion, it's hard to put too much stock in the Blue Grass; Lion Heart is clearly in deep water when he ventures past a mile, mile sixteenth, and furthermore, Lion Heart doesn't use Lasix, so I'm not sure he can breathe that well either (it's a mystery to me why Biancone doesn't use lasix), factor that in with the rare closers/outside bias at keenland that day, and the race loses it's appeal to me in terns of gauging the performance of TCE. Those who like him probably have enough to go on with his other races and breeding, but I don't see how you look at a horse passing a gasping, tired animal and think he's a superstar -- believe me I learned the hard way, those races in California this year are WEAK and Lion Heart may well be the best California horse so that's not saying much.
