He got my attention way before the Arkansas Derby because he annihilated his competition in the Risen Star. That is when I officially got on board. He then went on a wonderful win streak. I thought that he would have been in the mix in the Derby because of the talent and determination that he displayed. Steppenwolfer was a solid third in the Derby, and LR beat him every time down in Arkansas. I really believe that LR didn't fire his best shot (or even close to it) because of the chip.
