Do you think the distance races dulled the speed of Stormello, & Teufelsberg? They were being trained to run long and both ran in the Derby. I think Deadly Dealer will be a pace factor but I'm not sold on him. I've talked to some handicappers whose opinions I respect a great deal and they think Deadly Dealer is one of the ones. Once again a triple digit BSF has people going ga ga over him. 44 speed was the in thing that day and the field he ran against was suspect.
How do you think the pace works out here? Will Deadly Dealer run and gun and who goes with him? I'm having a hard time answering that question. I don't think he'll be alone on the lead. I question the big fig he was assigned on March 3rd plus his ability to run fast and sustain that for 7 furlongs against better horses.
I think Street Magician is a top quality colt. He's shown he has good speed and can sit off a horse if need be. He should have won his last race by at least 3 lengths if Bejarano elected to pass the tiring front runner on the outside. By moving inside it looked like he was sandwiched bit until Southwestern Heat drifted back off of him and towards the middle of the track. Add 3 lengths and his Beyer is at or very close to 100 which would depress his odds greatly.
