Analysis: His stock continues to rise even though he still hasn’t ran this year! However, the wait is finally over as Swipe will run this Saturday in the Lexington Stakes at Keeneland. The winner is only awarded 10 points so even if he wins it will place him squarely on the Kentucky Derby bubble. If he loses then he will finally drop out of the rankings completely.
