Analysis: Now is the time for this one as we’ll learn all we need to know this weekend when he gets set for a rematch against Cupid in the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby. He’ll need to run in the top 4 to lock himself into the Kentucky Derby starting gate, and he’ll also have to prove that he’s not flattening out when going longer distances. The stakes couldn’t be higher for him going into this weekend.
