That horse always wanted to run from off the pace but that doesn't suit the Baffert program. The tactics employed in his Hail Mary Arkansas Derby run last year was a special sort of botch job.
CA trainers have been quite adept in the past few years at producing quality late-running sprinters by wasting valuable races & months entertaining false Derby hopes in those Oaklawn preps.
American Theorem & Get Her Number both came out of the ashes of those races in previous years and returned a year or two later refashioned as quality sprinters.
