"I'm glad it happened," Hofmans said. "He got a lot of dirt in his face, and he ran through it. The best part of the work is that he was finishing, and he galloped strong. I didn't care about the time—I wanted him to get around that turn, and I wanted him finishing. It was about the way he works. He looks like he needed the work. He was blowing pretty good."


I'm not sure I like the fact that he was blowing pretty good.
Yeah...that is not good. It sounds like he won't be ready. He's probably a toss.

I'm considering him a 'toss' for the win (not place and show) just because he's NEVER crossed the line first in any of his races!! I just can't see him doing it in the Belmont!
