ROMEO COOLIO did what he was entitled to when a facile winner on hurdles debut but this Champion-Bumper second is clearly a very smart prospect indeed, as his status at the head of the betting for the Supreme indicates. He can pass this test, probably at the chief expense of stablemate Bleu de Vassy, though Belloccio is open to lots of improvement in this sphere given his Flat ability.
