Analysis: I’m not going to be too hard him yet because he did set a very fast pace in the Santa Anita Derby on a very sloppy race track. Perhaps the track conditions just didn’t set up for him. He very well could be reaching his distance limitations though, and lets face it he’ll have to ration some of that speed to have any chance in Kentucky. He’s not completely impossible now, but his stock definitely took a hit.
