I didn't expect DM to go that slow and it looks like TtT was being schooled. Cohen didn't hustle him out like he wanted the lead, in fact he settled him in just behind the pace. I thought that TtTran on OK considering the step up in class and the ship to NoLa etc. He may not be a "Derby horse" but he learned to run on while not on the lead.
For a 1st route/2 turn effort, DM ran well. TAP has been very happy with how he progressed after his bumpy seasonal debut and while trainer quotes are like political speeches in my eyes.
Now TAP needs to figure out what happens when Rule, Eskendereya and DM try to duke it out on the pace in Louisville.
