Analysis: The winner of the Breeders Cup Juvenile came back in the San Vicente last week, and ran extremely well finishing second. This classic two turn horse has never had much luck sprinting so don’t let that second place effort fool you…he ran better than I personally expected him to run. He’s been beaten by American Pharoah, but he does have health on his side right now. Plus, his win in the Breeders Cup was the best race ran by anyone in this crop.
