ran yesterday, IMHO. El Kabeir looks the real deal. Didn't have things all his way, amd still blew away the field without laying it all down. Time looks to be okay. The only other race was a 12k claimer group, but they were 2+ seconds slower, and there looked to be some decent horses in there. And that winner was a point lighter.
The only 2 worth mentioning at GP ware the top two in the Spectaular Bid, and they won't go past a mile. Very impressed with Barbados, finishing well into a strong breeze.
Can't say much for the MMM winner. Did not finish well at all. Maybe got too hot, as he was sweating a ton in the paddock. I suppose the runner up still has room to improve after only two races, but a .26 and change final 1/4, even into a good breeze doesn't say greatness.
