I also highly doubt he'll be a fair price since he has the second highest fig in the race, red-hot connections, and that $1.3 million price tag. He may very well win, as there doesn't look to be anything special running against him (except for maybe the TAP firster), but he'll almost certainly be an underlay and one to play against.
I didn't bet the race but I really can't believe what that horse paid to win. . .
