I don't think you can compare at this point. ODDS ON MR MAMBA has been, to this point a regional sire stake horse. He's a very nice horse and has good connections. I hope they do well. He could really step up on the grand circuit stage. But you are comparing one horse who is approaching $2 million who won a metro and breeders crown to a horse who won $500k and some sire stakes. You can't really compare at all yet. I'm sure others will step up but right now BJ is the King.
Yup. If BJ had only won the Ontario SS and dodged the grand circuits, even as impressive as he's looked, everyone would be saying "wait'll he faces someone legitimate."
That said, just because OO Mr Mamba has only demolished sire stakes doesn't mean he CAN'T make that step up. I'll admit I know nothing about him, will find some replays next.
I have the utmost respect for Beau, but the odds are (no pun intended) he will get beat at some point. All the greats have and sometimes racing luck just plays out that way. I haven't personally seen one this year I'd classify as better than him but I don't this division that closely. Mellilo seems to have improved a good bit, whereas Burke's other good one from last year, Frantic Hvr, seems to have gone the other way so far.
