Yeah, that's a trip. I liked how he was right in path, head steady. He looked real streamlined. Him just a little guy.

Yes he is... I'm most concerned about that for him on Derby day. It'll be tough getting knocked around by 19 other horses when he weighs 800 lbs soaking wet.

Well, if he's chillin' at the back of the pack like normal, he may not have to worry about that.

Not something I'm willing to gamble on... the trip means a lot. What happens when he's making his move and in front of him are half a dozen horses backing up? Then what? Nah...

Very true. Trip is EVERYTHING. That's why they call it gambling baby!

I sense fear?

For real, I really like his chances to hit the board, maybe 4th. Pends on how much ground he can cover DTS.

Yeah, he scares me a little bit for sure.

You and me both. I saw him break his maiden at CD last year in person. He can flat fly from WTF back! I will not be sleeping on him. If by some chance there is a sub 23 1/4, sub 46 1/2, look out. I don't think that will be the case, which is why I don't like him for the win.
