There's just nothing about the way this horse has finished any of his last four races that makes me think he can win the BC Classic at 1 1/4 miles.

IMO, he actually ran quite well in the stretch of the Derby. Street Sense passed him at the 1/8 pole and quickly opened up by 2. Hard Spun basically matched him stride for stride to the wire, only losing by less than 3.
