Analysis: I still am very uncertain this horse can get the 10 furlongs of the Kentucky Derby, however I do think he’s the best horse in the crop after his professional comeback win in the San Vicente Stakes. I’m not thrilled that the horse will only have one more start before the Kentucky Derby, but they’ve decided the Florida Derby will be his final prep race. If he wins there he’ll move up to number one.
