I bet he never wins a race where he is over 8:5 for the rest of his career ( and would gladly take 4:1 that he never wins another race period ).

If I had not seen this horse in person last out, I would tend to agree with you (at least about the 8:5 part). I've not seen a horse in recent memory this large, carry himself as quickly and as effortlessly as he does.

On the critical side, he had the look of a horse that still needs to develop a bit. I would never get in the business of second guessing Todd or Mike, but he appeared to me to be a horse that would benefit from taking the less traditional route to the Belmont Stakes and will be, if healthy, a major player this summer.

Thanks. I'm skeptical but respect your opinion.
