that being said i stand by what serling posted earlier... Bunky has no shot for win in my opinion, though his maiden voyage was impressive he didn't appear to be a world beater, i think the owner/trainer is beating a lot of pots and pans and the media is eating it up.

Right.....it isn't Saturday yet. This is the time for open-ended discussion, not betting.
I've criticized PG85 about 500 times for declaring the winner of a race before the PPs even come out. For him to be discussing a colt's chances without either declaring him a superstar or calling him a worthless slug is actually pretty significant progress on his part.

As for me, I would want no part of the colt at anything less than about 40/1, if the field comes up as expected. He certainly could take a step forward in his second start, but he would have to improve dramatically while going 10f in just his second start. That seems unlikely.
