I don't think he beats Scat Daddy, but he is second no doubt, and not too far off of Scat. Do I think Chelokee is the best coming out of the race, yes. Scat showed he is good. Edgar did a good job keeping him out of trouble. Still can't stand him though and want no part of him May 5th.

Good summary of my thoughts as well. Sometimes the rail opens and the jockey is appauded for having guts, other times you get pinched. If he gets through it might have been a close finish. Still don't know if he would have got there. Chelokee is however one horse who is making very good progress, moving forward each race. What I like about him is that he is more full of late run than others in that race.
