I'm not saying he'd be a bad play at 5-1 or so but I am concerned that the wheels are going to come off soon. They gave him very little time to "be a horse" after the Belmont and he sure did look tired in the final quarter at Mountaineer. That was his sixth workout yesterday along with a race in the last seven weeks. The first of those workouts also came only 21 days after the Belmont.

Im envisioning a Concern type of scenario. 10-15 lengths out by the clubhouse turn and uncorking a huge rally late, only MTB is not coming after Holy Bull. He didnt run his "type" of race in the WV Derby or the Belmont for that matter. Poor rides by both jockey's in both of those races. I think coming in here the connection should have the correct gameplan set in stone and if follow should result in a victory.
