I'll believe it when I see it. He got dusted in the Riva Ridge just as he has in every other race of his aside from the pedestrian stroll called the Risen Star. To his detriment, he seems to have only one way of going and given what's lined up on either side of him (not to mention the outside horse), it looks to be more of the same up front today.
If there is one thing to say about him its that, ignoring the Derby, he never completely caves in, which probably accounts for his status as a quality bridesmaid.
Maybe the class drop will be the difference today, with the other pace rivals all making their graded stakes debuts. Personally, I wonder what he would have done in the Pegasus or the Long Branch or both.
