Personally, I would be more concerned with his running style. Is he one dimensional (like Game on Dude/Bayern) -- other brilliantly fast Baffert horses that cannot pass another horse?
Baffert won the Derby with a wire-to-wire horse (War Emblem) but that style seldom wins. Maybe, he can pass another horse. Maybe, he is good enough that he doesn't have to.
