He may be a talented horse, or merely an unexposed horse. After all, his win last out was a n3x; who'd he beat? Noble Causeway? Who was beaten the same distance by Alumni Hall the time before? And I don't think AH is a likely winner.

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree. It's not fair, IMO, to count the Lane's End against him; MK got hurt in that race and it was a long time ago. I never said he was a lock to win, but I definitely think he's a contender. We'll know soon enough.
