Analysis: Big time effort off a three month layoff to win the Risen Star Stakes now makes him a player in the game. I’d like to see more out of him before I’m completely convinced he’s a top level horse, however you would think there might be room to improve off his latest effort. Runs this weekend in the Louisiana Derby which should determined how serious of a threat he’s going to be.
