I agree that the pace could be a little hotter than people expect. From the 2 hole, with a lot of decent speed between him and the two flyers on the outside (High Limit and Going Wild), Bailey will probably put High Fly into the race early to avoid getting shuffled back. Given High Fly's natural speed, High Limit and Going Wild are then going to have to hustle if they want to clear him going into the first turn. Things could snowball from there (despite the hot Derby pace being fresh in the jockeys' minds).
