Considering that this horse has not yet won a stakes race, I think you might be a bit ahead of yourself here.

Grasshopper isn't as good as the public thinks he was vs. SS.
Grasshopper also didn't run as poorly as the public thinks in the Super Derby.

He is a nice horse. He hasn't shown that he is some kind of division leader at all yet, but hey he should be a little stronger this year.
I don't expect him to win the Mineshaft, but he has a shot.
