It's not that I think he's a Gr I type dirt horse or anything, but his three non-turf races that were run on the square (ie, no track made of soup and no horrific traffic trouble) were plenty solid for me to give him credit. On top of that, I am pretty confident that he'll get better as the year goes on.
He's long in the tooth for excuses, but it's tough to really know, because I'm still not sure we know how good he may or may not be, and my money is on us finding out this summer that he's a hell of a racehorse.

Understandable and I wouldn't be altogether surprised to see him have a very productive "2nd half."
I also applaud Chris Block for being so prudent because in the hands of many other horsemen there would be no hesitation about his plans for May 2.
