If 20 loaded in the gate tomorrow and Bolt was among them he would be close to 8/1 maybe more. Now you have to wait ten weeks, hope that the trainer that has not been on the Trail gets him conditioned for 10f's and 20 horses. Not for me.

Love the horse he is obviously VERY talented, but a lot of them are at this point

This colt improves going 9 to 10 furlongs, Derby(Santa Anita Derby) 2nd off the layoff and then 3rd off in Kentucky
I say this colt is being handled or managed just perfect.
I don't think Mick Ruis is getting the credit he deserves!
He his wife Wendy his daughter Shelby and their whole stable is what American thourobred racing is supposed to be about.
Taking care of the horse's ist then keep him active and training to a triple crown run
