Analysis: You can’t argue with the talent he has after his back to back second place efforts against solid company. Many felt that he was a sure winner when he hit the stretch of the Rebel Stakes, but he just couldn’t get by Cupid. Is he hitting the wall distance wise? I think it’s very possible, but I’m willing to analyze him one more time before determining that for sure. His final prep will tell us what we need to know.
