Analysis: There is no doubting the big time talent that this horse possesses!  However, I can’t rank him higher than tenth for the Kentucky Derby because his lack of experience is really going to hurt him.  Not only does he have the curse of Apollo to deal with, but he’s also never raced outside of Gulfstream.  Too many question marks…but he is a talented horse!
