Last Race: Grade 2 San Felipe Stakes at Santa Anita, Finished 2nd
Analysis: I was not high on his San Felipe effort, but with Mastery no longer on the trail, it’s left the Santa Anita Derby wide open. It looks as though he wants no part of going longer, but perhaps his class will eventually carry him to a win going two turns. I give him very little shot in the actual Kentucky Derby, though.
