That is how I am betting it, but he still has to live up to what they are saying. It looks like a pretty weak field to me. If he wins this one, I bet he gets some stiffer competition in the graded $1million race on July 15, although all the top 3yr olds are staying on the dirt as preps for the Travers. I could see him winning the first 3 legs and then getting beaten on BC day by the top 4yr olds, but this group here doesn't impress me at all.
