March is an interesting addition to the Hollywood Derby. From the chart, it looks he didn't get a clear run in his turf debut last month which I presume is why they are stepping him up into a graded stakes and shipping him west to try it again.
That aside, I hope he sticks around for the Malibu on the main track going 7f opening day at Santa Anita next month. Not sure what happened this summer at Saratoga, but he certainly has the credentials to show up there. Plus with Runhappy and Mr. Z and maybe even Watershed potential starters, we might get a rerunning of the King's Bishop--the perfect acid test for Laura Wohlers to establish herself as the true force behind the sprint star.
