This is a shocker with the notable exception of RECITE A PRAYER, who wouldn't still be with the champion trainer unless thought capable of earning his keep though he hasn't shown much in two starts since landing a point at Tallow. Queensteel has shown a bit of potential in her two starts under Rules while Matthew Smith has been in good form and One Hot Poet is a full-brother to the useful Flat performer One Cool Poet.
