Will this be the pace?

Maybe in his debut. I didn't think he was extending himself at all though in the Champagne. If memory serves me correctly, it was watching that race which convinced me that he'd have no problems being asked to come from off the pace, despite him being up on the lead.

This horse always seems to be well within himself.

I just have a hard time believing a horse is going to run covered up in a race for the first time, go 1 1/4 miles for the first time, and have basically only one prep this year, and still win. If he does, even with this garbage crop, he's a monster.
