I can't even think of Desert Party without remembering PG1985 asking Scav if the colt looked like a "Derby winner" in his debut.

Even so, it was hard not to be impressed with his race that day, even if it did come on the poly. I like his chances here.

After watching the replay I completely agree. To win from that post going that distance with that type of wide move is very sharp and the fact that he conducted himself like a seasoned racehorse in the lane (quick to change leads, dropped down towards the inside once in front) is even more encouraging.

His last workout (5fs in 1:00 B) over the main track suggests the surface switch shouldn't be an issue.
