Analysis: He continues to impress, but I do not have him in the same conversation as the top two at this point.  He hasn’t shown the brilliance yet that the Baffert duo has, but he is rounding into form at the perfect time.  The Kentucky Derby will be his third race off of a layoff so that could mean an improvement.
