Probably not as well as he takes to turf.
Looking at this years group - they all have questions that need to be answered... obviously some of them are a whole lot bigger than others.
I've never been a big fan of making lists this early .. because they all have so much improving to do to get at a level on par with your average Derby winner of years past.
Not to knock Bogey's list ... but Discreetly Mine wasn't even one of the 26 horses he's named ... and he's a perfect 2-for-2 in head-to-head matches against Super Saver .. whom he rated #1.
I realize Super Saver dominated the Kentucky Jockey Club impressively - but he was left isolated on an unpressured lead - I have a hard time believing Discreetly Mine wouldn't have done about the same with that exact same trip.
Super Saver isn't a silly #1 either .. he just has some real questions to answer about running style and a lot more improving to do.
