JB, I hear where you are coming from on this point and it's a fair point
here's what I will say
The year that we ran FS in the Derby, our barn was directly across from Todd's barn and so I got to see the 5 he ran that year in the Derby up close and personal every single day for a week.
I commented on the board at the time that the one that far and away looked the best was Palice Malice and that the others didn't have any meat left on the bone at all by the time we got to Derby week. Palice Malice ran a heck of a race that day and came back to win the big one next out. Revolutionary ran well but didn't move forward like he would have needed to to win.
I can promise you this, Materiality looks better and is training better than anything he has run in the Derby in recent years.
May not be good enough to beat AP but he will run his race whether he prepped at GP, Ark or on the moon.
