  • MichaelPavelick · Just watched Infrattini on video in the Matt Winn S. Dangerous colt. I think he could be minor grade 2 company, and looks like a real nice grade 3 colt, not sure if hes ready for $750,000 grade 2. Slight class disadvantage. He could be a shocker, I don't completely rule him out. · 189 days ago ·

The graded stakes committee fights a double-edged sword when they release their updates each year. Blame, who won the Clark Handicap one week ago, is now a grade two winner. His victory in the race and those who competed against him (along with those who ran in years past) were catalysts to making t...Read More
