Considering it was his first race in like 6 mths. Third career start and against a decent Stakes field, in retrospect it wasnt aweful but it wasnt Superstar great. This is a good prospect. He was under a stiff drive to get going in the turn. Was it inexperience or something else. I wouldnt force him for the Derby unless he gives a sign of taking another shot in 4 weeks.

I'm surprised if the figure is a 4 or 5. Mind Control was coming off a 2. Saved ground and ran I thought. This would also have the Stymie very slow. Which I dont think was super fast but...I'm not a figure maker so I will keep an open mind and wait.
