How's Paynter looking in terms of development? I know he's supposed to have talent, but some new horses we're hearing about now are prepping more for the big spring races while others are looking to Haskell and Travers and just won't be ready for the TC. Where are the spectrum does Paynter seem to fall? Is Baffert even hazarding a guess yet?

Hopefully, he'll wait for a more accurate assessment of the horse when he starts in a race featuring more than 3 rivals (one of whom was a stablemate).

That race might have been more dressed up than Empire Way's soft debut.
