Allowance horse Balladry can't be much better than Tweebster.
Tapizar could get past the Strub himself, as I'm not sure Ultimate Eagle's turf speed is transferable to the main track, but I don't see him butting heads early with Game On Dude and lasting in the Big Cap.

He seems a lot more unratable going two turns, I'll give you that. I thought he rated just fine in his comeback allowance win and the Dirt Mile to a lesser extent.
You're also right that he beat absolutely nothing today. I just think the talent is there and I thought today was a good first step to the year. Outside of Game on Dude, there isn't much in California....or anywhere to be honest.
