Analysis: Wow how about that closing effort in the Southwest Stakes!! Channeling his inner Zenyatta, Suddenbreakingnews fell extremely far back in the Southwest, but rallied furiously to win by almost three lengths. Was this a fluke or was this legit? We’ll find out soon enough, but if he can repeat these types of efforts he’s a serious contender.
