He may well run a non-threatening race in the KY Derby, but for a horse with such little experience to have run at least the decent race he ran Saturday it doesn't seem logical to dismiss him. It hardly seems like the strongest contingency we've seen lining up for the first Saturday in May.
He's certainly improved a lot more in his short career than NoBiz Like Showbiz has. Why shouldn't he have more upside?
