Don't get me wrong, I'm not picking him, in fact, I think he's probably a bet against, especially with the pace.

The bottom line, actually, is that he ran a lot better than QR did given the setup he got. I suspect that QR will probably need to contend with at least one more move in the Derby --- his quota of good setups is over, as is Freisan Fire's. I don't get all the negative comments about this horse. In a fair race, which the Derby will be with a large field, he has a good a shot as any; probably better than most.
