I think you have landed on a very interesting colt. His breeding is attractive as one would expect of Mr. G. Steinbrenner RIP.
I'm not familiar with the principal owner Bach. They appear to be a syndicator with a modicum of success. They may be ready to cash out and Gentleman Jim Covello might find the price attractive. Seeing Jim's recent and wonderfully honest post signals game on Derby Fever is-a-comin. Next a nice negative number by a 1st or 2nd time starter @ GP.
I would like to see Mr. Mott win the derby and sooner rather than later. This colt is certainly no sprinter and as you suggest should come into his own as the season progresses. I am wondering if that 2nd start the one taken off the turf was he entered as MTO or was Mott aiming to try the turf?
The jump to stakes company shows me the horse has a future. We didn't see his best race when he missed the start but he ran professionally showing me good character.
