Why?
There are at least 400 TC nominees with a lesser chance to wear the Roses. The only clunker he's run, the Champagne, he reportedly flipped his palate. The following races seem to support that.
There are plenty of stamina influences in his pedigree and won the 9f Remsen in fine fashion, with a fig, for the time being, that lays over the field.
No doubt that I've been in the too fast too early camp, but I'm beginning to wonder. Just maybe, he's something really, really special.
Fl Derby: the key is not to battle with Frisky and VP on the front end; show some tractability and ability to sit chilly and move in the lane. If he does, you may be watching a TC winner.
