Check out his turf ride in Belmonts 90k overnight Stakes today.
He did spot the field a solid 3 lengths in that race. I wanted to downgrade him due to his maiden win; the 3rd, 4th and 5th betting choices all went down in a spill, and he was clear of trouble. But I guess that win at Keeneland showed he was legit. Only question is there's not much speed in the race on Friday.
