Since his maiden win he's 5-3-1-0 with just the mediocre effort in the Lecomte. Do I think he's going to beat Big Brown? No. But could he fill the exacta or trifecta at 30-1? Definitely.

He smacks of a one-turn closer to me. Even if he can go two turns, I don't think the race sets up for him. He's a better proposition than Behindatthebar in my opinion, but I don't give either much shot.
