Lawyer Ron is my choice to win Met Mile tomorrow.

Can you find a race in his pp's where he did not have to confront a fast pace yet and was not fast enough to get the lead? I can find the Derby and BC Classic. This is a flat mile and I can't see him working out an easy trip here.
He'll have to run fast early, middle, and late. I think Lawyer Ron will crack under pressure.
I have it down to Sun King, and maybe Silent Name or Silver Wagon closing past the hot pace.
