18,000 FOY day
25,000 Florida Derby day
I don't know that he needs more speed. He looks to be placing himself in the races and that’s a good way for a horse to run the Kentucky Derby. The furthest back he got was about 7 lengths when Frisky was all alone by 4 on a :47 half. That made him at about 48:2 which was not a bad place to be on the route fractions from that day. The routes have been tiring for many horses of late. That card will be tough to make numbers for, my hunch is that Newfoundland and Supah both moved forward and ran very well and the Florida Derby was slow but not as abysmal as it looks.
Speed has kinda been an anomaly in the Derby the last couple years, theres been plenty of horses to win by coming from off of it. Like always, it will depend upon the horses entered and how the track is playing.
