Analysis: We’ve liked him for a couple of months now, and he backed up our thoughts with a big win in the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby. His running style as a late closer could cause him to run into traffic trouble in the Kentucky Derby, but you have to love how he has shown a willingness to split horses. This horse is improving with each and every race, and could fire his best shot on the first Saturday in May.
