Last Week’s Rank: 5
Analysis: The reports coming from his camp the last three weeks have been extremely encouraging. Like I’ve wrote several times on these rankings the talent is definitely there, but now it looks like he’s got his mind on business for the first time in awhile. His last workout suggests he’s doing better than ever, and this horse should love to go long…especially a mile and one quarter. Now he just has to put it all together on the race track this Saturday in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby.
