I haven't seen the workout; I don't know how fit Rule is; and, Rule will get the worse of it, of the two, in terms of setup in the Derby. I wouldn't bet Rule but I would certainly bet him before a horse that, basically, needs to get significantly lucky to hit the board.
The amazing thing about Mission Impazible is that he never accelerated. He merely won by going less slowly than the others in the stretch. It was really a decidedly mediocre race to be kind.

I like Rule. I agree with you, it's hard to believe he could win this race, but he's tough.
