That's understandable but this year feels different and the horse has 4 solid races under his belt this year. Lots could happen the next few weeks but really feel this horse is as good as any in the field and will be first one coming on the pace horses with no problem getting the distance. No way he is not on my ticket.

I'm using 3 horses, unless something crazy happens in the draw.
Justify and Hofburg are my As and Vino is like a c/b.

I feel the same.
I like that he has 3 two-turn victories this year, and has won at 3 different tracks. Seems versatile enough to be placed near or off the pace. I'm not going to hold it against him that he was able to run a slow second quarter, or that he drifted out/got distracted down the stretch.
He looked professional in his other races and like his pedigree.

He's in my top 3 now, but I'll see how it comes into the race and what post position he gets before making any definitive opinions about him.
