He can win from off-the-pace at this distance.

Normally I'd be very concerned about any kind of horse making a 3 furlong cut-back....but not this horse.

I wouldn't have made him my offical pick to finish last in the KY Derby if I thought he was a superstar.

I really look forward to betting him Saturday....

I look forward to him winning and then hearing your story about how and why you didn't bet him.

I've been burned more than once by horses who were mistakenly put on the Derby Trail, then dropped back to their better distance in this particular race (aka the Riva Ridge). Especially in the late lamented Pick 6 contest. They often need an easier sprint (n2x, stakes at Mth or Pim) to get them back thinking "Oh, yeah, one turn - I remember how to do that."
