I'm going to trust the trainer, he has the pedigree to get every part of the 1 1/4, the pace as usual is always fast in the Derby, so he will be able to close.
Even though he clearly wasn't cranked and used the SA as another stepping stone, he still ran 12 second furlongs in the SA Derby and ran the final 3/8ths in 37.46 to my eye. Being able to clip off 12 second furlongs, at 1 1/8, has always been a crucial part to my handicapping the KD!
Hopper is a must use to me!
