If he does run, at gets a Beyer of over 90, I'm pretty sure he's the Kentucky Derby winner. The middle move followed by the hang job in the Sunland Park Derby was a dead give away.

Will have to contend with R Heat Lightning, however.

I'm following Astrology closely, wish I knew if he were in the Ark. Derby, he did have a 5 furlong workout at S.A in 1:00 and 4/5th's today. If he doesn't go this Saturday in the Ark. Derby, at least this gives hope he's still on the Derby trail and will prep in a different race
