And I sure would be licking my chops at 5-1.

How are you so sure the pace is going to work out for him? The pace was very fast in the WV Derby and that didn't seem to work out.
I'm not saying he'd be a bad play at 5-1 or so but I am concerned that the wheels are going to come off soon. They gave him very little time to "be a horse" after the Belmont and he sure did look tired in the final quarter at Mountaineer. That was his sixth workout yesterday along with a race in the last seven weeks. The first of those workouts also came only 21 days after the Belmont.
