Analysis:His latest victory was a nice step forward for Battalion Runner off of his impressive maiden win. However, it wasn’t overly remarkable to me, and I believe he’ll have to pick it up a bit in order to successfully move up to the next level. Still, with Pletcher on his side, he’s worth a serious look.
