Analysis: Extremely unsure of how good he really is, but I’ve heard he’s pointing towards Dubai, so that could lead to the Kentucky Derby. He also might be a decent candidate for the Spiral Stakes at Turfway Park if Dubai falls through, and that could also lead to the Derby. Tapwrit’s decent effort in the Sam F Davis Stakes adds intrigue to this horse.
