Projected Next Race: Santa Anita: Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby

Analysis: He definitely did enough in the San Felipe to warrant respect.  He was able to close nicely to finish second, and was somewhat gaining on Dortmund as they approached the wire.  I’m not sure he is as good as Dortmund, but to go from an allowance win to second in a Grade 2 is a solid effort.  Must respect from here on out.
