Breeding suggests distance should not be an issue, but I do get all your concerns with the horse coming into this. The competition is indeed stiffer, but there are no world beaters here and frankly Kiaran's horse scares me more than the Baffert(even with his impeccable record shipping into NY) But imho this horse is a freak, and if he performs tomorrow as I think he will, we are about to have a new favorite for the Derby. Only hoping the general public sees things as you do so my price can drift up a bit as there is nothing appealing about 4/5.
