w/the amount of time off between races, I didn't read him as having any pattern.

once a horse starts taking 6 weeks off between races, the pattern analysis becomes a little pointless.

I can't speak for any others, but as for myself (a Sheet player), I'll repost this from The Sheets board:

I've seen a lot about this horse ever since his spiral, and he's always been a question for me.

now, I see some talk about him in the belmont, and I see him as just as big a question mark.
I'd probably have to use him in the belmont, just on number power, but I'd like your read on his line (I'm neutral).
he's got 5 and 6 week breaks, which I feel kind of nullifies any short term patterns, and I'm really not crazy about his derby number.
it seems a few sheet players here like his line, so I was just wondeing what your take was.
I suppose I'd just peg him at another 5 w/a little ground loss, which just makes him another horse in the race.
