Richiebee,

Came to the track with betting that runner in mind. But the events of the day and past few days in fact gave the impression that Kee was paying a little more fairly, and typically this horse collapses in his last fraction.

But with that being said, and not geting into if Kee is speed favoring (we all know it tends to). I thought the way the horse hopped at the start and within 4-6 jumps cleared to the lead and just did not stop and just ran his eyeballs out was quite impressive to me. Sort of reminded me of Spend A Buck. But one race does not make a career. It was very visually impressive. I am not sure if the other jockeys got into racing each other thinking this horse quits in final fraction or not, but no one could even sniff the horses behind once they hit the first turn.

The same race by SM could win the Derby, I thought he was shortening up a little the last 1/16 so who knows. I wouldn't want to be chasing his pace. Hard to say right now. I'm not outright dismissing this horse yet (Bounce) lets put it that way just because it was KEE etc etc. I'd also keep an eye on that second place horse Storm Treasure. Reminicent of Closing Argument the year before.
