I started this thread to ask people what they liked about this horse. I think he's shaping up as a Saarlandesque underlay and have serious reservations about him making an impact on this race at any point in time.
Assuming that he's going to rate is dangerous. Assuming that he's going to get the lead is even more dangerous. Assuming that he's going to be able to endure a very wide trip a la Big Brown and still be victorious is crazy in my opinion.
I find his ability to be effective from off the pace non-existent and think that everyone being dazzled by his fast 3rd quarter of the SA Derby is ignoring the fact that he walked on the lead prior to that point.
I'm a big boy and if I'm wrong it won't be the first time and it certainly won't be the last.
