While he would have likely won the Blue Grass had he gone, you can be assured that Jones will have him ready to run off the 6 week break. He is the most intriguing and difficult entrant to project in this Derby. The pace is certainly going to suit him, and he's the best bred horse in the field for the trip. The questions are exactly how good he is and Mario Pino.

while mismanaged might have been the wrong word John certainly has a valid point that the path (or rather lack of path) his connections have chosen is somewhat questionable...and you have been one of the most vocal about the owners decisions...why the backtracking?
