Analysis: After a very solid second-place effort in the Louisiana Derby, he’s earned himself a spot in the starting gate on the first Saturday in May. This fast-developing colt has a lot of talent, but I’m worried that the Derby will be too much too fast for him. He’s a likable horse that I will most likely be picking down the road, but I don’t think he’s a Kentucky Derby threat.
