If Reade Baker hadn't inexplicably decided to run Fatal Bullet in the Vanderbilt, he's the kind of horse who would have given Zensational trouble on the lead. The last three times Zensational has won he's gotten away with relatively easy first quarters, especially given his raw speed.
Fatal Bullet hasn't even worked since the Vanderbilt, so there's another potential contender out the window.
You can probably chalk Capt. Candyman Can up on the list of horses who won't go to the BC because of it being on synthetics too as his lone Poly start at AP was the worst race of his career.
