Analysis: He’ll make the third member of our top 5 that will be running this weekend in the San Felipe Stakes so you can see how major this race is going to be on Saturday. Exaggerator seems to be the horse that people are forgetting about, but his runner up effort in the San Vicente Stakes last time out was very solid. I’m excited to see him back at two turns this weekend, and have high hopes for him.
