I haven't read it. When Steve and Hooves first mentioned him as a contender on here I thought they were crazy. The more I cap the race though the better he keeps on looking against the rest of the field. A dream trip horse should be a bet against the next time out, and normally I'd want to play against him. But against the crappy horses he'll be running against and likely odds of 25 to 30-1 he is a lot more interesting than your normal dream trip horse on the runback. I think he could run 5 lengths off his Florida Derby and still have a shot at getting up for 3rd or 4th. That is how woeful this collection of horses are going into the Derby.
