They think so too considering they could have anyone they want. The knock on Tagg with this horse is that he ran him on two weeks for the derby against a horse that nobody really thought he had a chance against, in Barbaro, but now with a $5M bonus (which I doubt he would get) he doesn't want to run him off 3 weeks rest. The fact is the owners are incredible people because 95% of owners would tell the trainer to take a shot at the $5M.
I do know this, Tagg got him for $60K and considering he will earn millions in his career, Tagg knows a hell of a lot more than me, so I am sure the rest is good for the horse.
