1. He is fast enough figure-wise, especially with any improvement at all.
2. He has a nice running style. He gets called a plodder, which may be a little harsh.
3. Very solid pedigree which may be more evidence of room for improvement.
4. Bob Baffert. The Derby has been his target.
5. He has done nothing wrong this year. Lost by 2+ lengths in the San Felipe, a very strong race. He was still running well (and wide) at the finish. If I recall, there was some discussion about his Sham # being understated also.
