The few people I know who bet him in the BC Juvie, bet him solely off the basis of his polytrack race---where he was wide, and made a spectacular move, before hanging late.

I agree though---while I say he's never run a good figure when he hasn't had a dream trip....those races include early season 2yo sprints, or races run over either off-tracks or artifical dirt.

He very well might be capable of running an impressive figure without his trip--but, the visual aspect is what makes me lean to think he won't.

Even in the Derby, when he had that easy trip....he still did everything wrong in the very late stages of that race.
