Analysis: He jumped onto the Kentucky Derby trail with a big win in the Risen Star. I’m very unsure about the strength of that race, so that’s why I’ve ranked him this low for now. If he can prove it again, he could move up the list in a big way, and it has to be nice for his connections to know that he is a lock to make the Kentucky Derby points-wise.
