Analysis: He had been written off by many (including me) but International Star proved us wrong with a very nice score in the LeComte Stakes at Fair Grounds last time out.  Fair Grounds can sometimes throw extremely crazy results so it’s important not to get too overhyped just yet.  Let’s make him prove it to us again before he moves up this list.
