The TC or a TC start?

As much as the horse doesn't look like Forrest Camp, there is no way anyone thought he was getting a mile and a half on his best day...

That said, the Kentucky Derby was certainly a well documented goal prior to the equipment malfunction in the Whirlaway... I don't know how anyone can take anything away from that - good or bad - so a strong effort in this spot would not necessarily discount a shot at the a TC race, namely the Preakness.

In fact a Whithers / Preakness path is fairly sensible.
