From Sadler's assistant: ""When he broke his maiden in his first race, he was off the pace,” Benavidez said. “He’s not really a speed horse. He can rate; he shuts it down pretty easily. He’s a smart horse and actually kind of acts like an older horse. Today was helpful in that being prepared for the Derby he can lay second or third. He passed with flying colors today.”

I get the same sense watching this horse run. He takes the lead easily, when others don't outrun him for it. If he's able to sit, he takes a whole bunch of horses (like all the plug closers and cheap speed) out of the race and the KD becomes betable.
