I'd be shocked if Patch and J Boys Echo were in front of him at any point in the race.

Wilkes does see him around there. He was keen off the break in the Blue Grass (and they knew they needed to be 1-2-3) and Ian expects him to be more relaxed early Saturday. Draw obviously will affect Hernandez decisions.
