Analysis: He moves up to number two in the rankings without even running. Those ahead of him either disappointed or didn’t impress enough to stay ahead of him. Like I’ve said from the beginning I’m very unsure about him going long, but I do believe he is the most talented horse in the crop. The Florida Derby looks like it will match up our two top horses!
