Jim,
Positives,Hopportunity definitely looks to stay the trip and maybe get into the number depending on trip.Has shipped and won,Baffert tough customer on big days.I dont see his last as a regression at all even though the fig will say that.Caught a speed track on Sat and a superior horse, both negative dynamics.
Dont like that he:
1.Kinda idled into the last turn twice now.
2.Has a wet track top which is somewhat incongruous with his other figs(nice overll TG pattern though,pre Sat)
3.His 3/4 top was ground loaded,more methodology fast than racetrack fast.
4.Not a fan of his top fig win earned with 4 horses bunched at the wire.
May go off somewhat shorter due to Baffert but pools so deep with soft money on Derby day that it's more than a wash.
Mike
