Analysis: He did it! After giving all his backers a heart attack by waiting all day to get running, he finally got going late and made up enough ground to finish second while gaining on Creator with every stride. The positive is I think a mile and one quarter should suit him great, but I fear he’ll get into traffic trouble in the Kentucky Derby. He also needs to make his move a little earlier to get it done. He’ll be the Dudes top rooting interest this year.
