Tony-- yeah, BR only has one neg 5. But the 2yo races were strong for a 2yo, and the first out at 3 better than anyone else here had run to that point in their career, by quite a bit. If the horse had bounced off that, and was coming into this race fresh for a layoff trainer, I would probably bet him WITHOUT the neg 5-- the zero alone would put him in this, and he's supposed to be better now than then.
I would also point out that Zito layoff popping with other horses aside, THIS horse has already run tops off a layoff twice, if you include his first out-- and the 3yo debut was a 15 length win where it's possible he could have run faster.
