Indeed you did, I see him even more forwardly placed drawing perfect and picking up Mike Smith in the 11th hour then I did before. The off going doesn’t appear to hurt either quite possibly the opposite. I am conflicted as to if he has the quicks to be comfortably in that first flight of stalkers. Being on the lead would be a surprise (I think his stablemate is more likely to be up there mixing it up having to “go” from the outside and more natural speed). But yes, I think he may be quicker from the jump than it would appear, but how much so?

Interesting seeing the super break downs, more even than I would have thought for sure. Looks like only LA preps lagging a tad and there seems to be a thought that they were better this year than usual? Thanks for the responses all- break a leg this weekend gentlemen....
