Food for thought, is all. If the Wood was a conditioner for him (consequently, his best race to date + his longest distance ever run, over a traditionally laid-out surface), he could clearly move up at a huge number. I'll be watching his works and how he handles CD very closely.

Oh of course, I'm not doubting his potential to continue to improve. I'm just not sure that improvement would be enough to be a major factor. He could move up as you suggest, as could many others in the field, and run a great race. Problem is in the Derby that might mean only 5th place...
