He's probably a one-turn sprinter. I never really disputed that, his entire damside pedigree is full of sprinters.

He was in a wrestling match with Gomez. The horse wanted to be forward - and the rider wanted to take him back.
Gomez put the Boston Strangler ride on him - and steadied him repeatedly trying to take him back.
I think he has a better chance - with a rabbit to help him - in a race like the Met Mile than he does in the Derby.
