He may do well on Saturday, but it may again be due to circumstances other than his talent.
These 1-1/8 races at Gulfstream favor the inside horses so much it's ridiculous. Wasn't it last year's running of the Holy Bull at 1-1/8 that saw the daunting Saratoga Sinner, Bear's Rocket and West Side Bernie run 1-2-3, same as their post positions?
Breaking from the 2, I see Buddy's Saint getting a pretty nice trip. If he does well, I'll be ready to bet against him with both fists in the Fl. Derby.
