Last Race: Grade 1 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park, Finished 5th
Analysis: Ran very well from the outside post in the Arkansas Derby finishing fifth, and he probably would have hit the board if he didn’t have a wide trip. However, there is still very little doubt in my mind that he is better going one turn, so I’m not thrilled about him running in the Kentucky Derby.
