everybody is saying that about eddy this year (i think bailey used those exact words describing his wood stretch run). strange, eddy has the same look as EM (just henning instead of frankel, the difference between running in the derby, and staying home). i was going to take 19-1 on him in the last pool, but saw the odds drift down at the end, and stayed out...... tapit jogged with a strong wind at his back for a good part of the wood, then sprinted a strong 3/8. i agree, photo, i don't think the horse has the foundation to run at a decent pace for a mile or so, then explode in the last quarter. i could very well be wrong. like CtC, i am still undecided about pulpit as a sire, and dickinson has pulled off much greater upsets in the past, just too many question marks still for me.
