I think he'll take to the Saratoga Course very nicely. Should enjoy the deeper track. I say let's wait until after the Travers.
But having said all that if he does not redeem himself in the Travers we could be looking at another Funny Cide and or Giacomo. Will win a race here or there but not sustaining a Champion like run.
But again waaay too early to start writing any obits.

What did Funny Cide do wrong after the TC? He won the JCGC, Excelsior, Dominion Day, and Kings Point; 2nd in the Mass Cap, Saratoga Cap; and was 3rd in the Donn, New Orleans Cap, and Suburban. Pretty decent career IMO.
