I think that in order to be a really top horse, u have to have the ability to "turn it on" at some point in the race and I just don't see that with Ravel. I will be surprised if he's a threat in a race like the Santa Anita Derby and especially in the Kentucky Derby. Of course, he's still got time to develop and could show me something more in his next race but what I've seen so far, I don't see what there really is to like about him.
