Well going :22.76 and :45.83 alone is different than going the same pace in tandem with other horses. He will have company in the KY Derby if he sticks to his early speed. The good thing about this horse is that he can rate and win as a stalker as well. His FL Derby win looks to me an all-out effort and probably wont duplicate it in Kentucky. We have seen remarkable derby prep wins and flops in the derby in the past.
