Shippers
 

Southern California shippers and surfers have done well the past couple of years. MetaBoss has faced some solid horses the last two and fits in this spot.

I wrote a nice story about him and one of his owners a few weeks ago.

But, I admit he looks like a synthetic horse with that wide sweeping move similar to what Zenyatta always did, and how many other synthetic type horses win.

They should aim for the Derby for the experience, but I don't expect them to win.

He has all the makings of a horse too slow to win the Derby, but one whose late kick is potent enough that he can clunk up into the super or tri at 30-1+.
