One thing that I think most of us are forgetting is that BGC has been running the Classic distances all spring except for down at Tampa and Keeneland. In the race at tampa, he threw a shoe which is a valid excuse. At Keeneland, he didn't take to the track. It is very hard to tell how much he has improved because he got taken back to 1 1/8 miles in the Haskell. Based on his pedigree, this is probably his best distance. So I really don't know where to rank him as far as improvement goes. With that being said he is probably a huge bounce candidate since he is coming back to the mile and a quarter distance so quickly off that huge (race of his life) performance.
