Based on what you just said, it looks like you have no idea how he tripped out last race. His trip last out was bad because he was 4-wide the whole way around the track while making a ridiculously early move. In the Southwest, the pace wasn't exceptionally fast. It was solid, but it wasn't blistering and he had a tough trip that day out too. I would have to agree right now that the only horses that look capable of winning the Derby right now are 3 that were mentioned, Eskendereya, Lookin at Lucky, and Dublin as of now are the only 3I can see right now.
