He looks a champ to me, as you all can see in the video, Mubtaahij was very impressive yet again. Sure the ten pounds over the southern hemisphere horse helped but I got the impression from watching the video that he didn\'t need it. He toyed with that undefeated horse, maybe because the stablemate softened him up, but still impressive. I wonder what his future book odds are now? If you\'re doubtful about \"Desert to the Derby\" I understand but this is a new trainer trying it, and he is no slouch he ran second in the BC Turf a few years ago at 9-1 odds with Eagle Mountain. Conduit beat him in the last 1/16th.
