I watched the replays from both New York races. He just doesn't look like he wants to go that far. Even in the Gotham, he sits the perfect trip and they looked like they were catching up to him getting to the wire.

I know his breeding says 10f but he looks like a miler to me. Good luck though.

Defiantly saw that as well. But at the same time, his Gotham was 1st back from 4 months off. I'd like to think that was the cause. His pedigree is just too good for him not to like a 1 1/4.

Don't know, defiantly not sold on him by any means, just seems like a real dangerous horse. So many people get off a horse due to one bad race, especially his final prep, but seems like he had a decent excuse.

I go back and forth on this one, but only as a minor player. Agree he beat nothing in the Gotham, impressive though it was. Leparoux didn't give him a good ride in the Wood, not that it would have mattered. I think he can run late, however, he has been rank in almost every race so I'm leaning toward believing he will be a little too hyped up with all the surroundings. If he is headstrong and wants to pull, forget it.
