In his route races he has been completely overmatched against horses like Deadly Dealer and Officer Rocket. That leaves me more than skeptical about his chances against Street Sense and Hard Spun.
Add to that a likely unfavorable pace scenario and the fact that his trainer has a well-deserved reputation for
recently (we don't need a lecture about all of his past success) running any four-legged creature he is associated with in TC races, and he is a COMPLETE toss in my opinion.
