Bob,
There are lots of trainers that "know their horses". What does that have to do with preparing one for the Ky Derby?? Two totally different things
If you want to bet this horse in 5 weeks, I hope you convince a lot of your friends too. He beat a moderate group of horses while pressing the pace over a speed favoring strip. A Derby prep off of an 8 week layoff, then 5 weeks leading up to the Derby?? This horse will not have the conditioning to go 1 1/4 miles against 19 other horses.
Matz has done a nice job with him, don't get me wrong. But this looks like your classic big hype, low odds, up the track favorite to me.
