You may not have jinxed yourself. But if my memory serves me well stakes races at Sunland are run as if the first half is downhill and the second half is uphill.
Probably a distortion caused by Bafferts winners. Mine That Bird and Hence were certainly not early speed types. I also remember JB mentioning and observing quite a bit of ground loss with horses all over the stretch.
I'm going to add the Dale Romans trainee
Hollywood Star to your selection even though he's half the price. s/b healthy exacta.He's got that ran in the BC Juvenile angle like Givemeaminit did @FG.
