Analysis: No matter how you try to sugarcoat it, his effort in the Florida Derby was just average.  He dropped too far back early on, and according to his jockey, he could never get him to pick up his feet for much of the race.  His running style will make it tough for him to win in Kentucky, but we know he’ll come with a run, so if he can get the right trip, he’s a great candidate to weave his way through the traffic and hit the board.
