DT FOCUS (1/7-GP 8): Eskendereya (92 Beyer)

[Linny]

With a short runup the opening fractions at 1 mile are always slow. They went faster early than Quality Road in the Hal's Hope, though QR didn't break as fast and did have to rush up somewhat.
The winner stood out as a SW already, but looks like a potential threat as the "Derby Prep" season gets underway.
