What impresses me most about him is that he's obviously got the speed to contend with most who will enter, but the way he came out of the scrum in the Risen Star is a particular standout for me. That's the kind of toughness I want in a horse on Derby Day.

Agreed. Can't understand why they didn't leave the horse down here after the FoY...Seems like every year there is a trainer that likes to put more frequent flyer miles on his horse from Feb - May than I see all year...

I guess if Curlin or Cherlokee get in on earnings, there may be a case made to go long, but it appears to be shaping up to be mundane, unfortunately.
