Analysis: The Tampa Bay Derby win was a really nice comeback race for a horse we all have been excited to see. He pretty much decimated the field while not being asked in a workman like effort. He will have to improve off this effort to win a race like a Kentucky Derby, but he certainly has a great chance to do just that.
