I watched all of his replays today.

A few notes I'll share. In his debut, and the only time I saw, he was rank fairly early and I think it was b/c he was in behind horses and hated the kickback. The camera angle is not terrific so maybe others have different opinions. Thereafter, in that race and every race since, he had a wide trip. He really likes making his move to the front in the turn.

I have concerns about an inside draw. He needs to be at least middle or outside. He seems very intelligent with his ability to listen to his rider. Visually his finish last time was impressive and he pounded Admire Daytona this year (as 2yo's they were near equal when they raced) who flattered him in UAE Derby. Admire can go inside unlike this one it would seem but Admire is a cut below one would think but does continue on well usually to the wire.

Luxor with a wide trip seems a tough sell for me to see in the win spot. He can get a piece though and I have absolutely no idea what his price will be.
