At 15/1 or higher, there are definetely worst stabs in this race, especially now that his chief rival War Pass is out. I also like the fact Solis was so eager to committ to this horse 3 weeks prior to the Derby, instead of playing the waiting game and shopping around, if you will. Lots to like.

Oh God, Gander saying my pick MAY have a shot? Honestly, after his last race I told my husband "I believe that is my Derby horse." It was the first thing that came to my mind. He ran WIDE into the final turn and was still game at the end of the race. I really like this horse.
