he got pretty good practice on saturday. the crowd was ten deep at the rail, and the wind had losing tickets and whatever other garbage was there flying all around (bad environment for stressful horses). bottom line: the horse got a great trip, and picked up the $600k. if they don't train more speed into him, there is no way he will win (unless they get bailey, and he pulls another sea hero trick, the mig can't pull that off). if they get a bit aggressive, and get the horse close to the pace on derby day, i think they have an outside shot. either way, i think we are looking at a very talented colt, who will only get better as he gets older.
