And the horse he had beaten in his previous race (Workin for Hops) returned to win a stakes @ Arlington. He's plenty good, no question about it.
The two are aiming for a rematch in the Secretariat next weekend @ Arlington.
I'm likely going to be backing Workin for Hops again though. Workin for Hops, when defeated in the Colonial Turf Cup, didn't start moving early enough imo. Robby didn't start really shaking him up until Paddy was at his collar, losing the tactical advantage he had. Clearly, Paddy O Prado is the more accomplished and will likely be the shorter price here. I do, however, feel that if Workin for Hops takes command from the start or moves early and makes Paddy run him down, he may scoot away and the results may flip flop.
