What do you think his chances are realistically and can he win on the front end going 1 1/2. All responses welcomed.

I told you on ESPN actually, but forget that place....he is nuts, unless he is lone speed and can get 26/52/118, then he has a shot.
I was all over this horse first out at Gulfstream, should have won that day but Bridgo used him too quickly
personally, I think this is the kind of move that can ruin a horse like this one. This horse has OBVIOUS talent, but it is really suspect that he gets more then 8.5 furlongs, from a breeding perspective. Why not at least try 8.5 or 9 furlongs first, before you try and go 12 furlongs, on the lead the whole way.
This horse could be a monster miler, from what I recall, he is pretty fast on TG and he looks mentally all there, don't fry him trying to go 12 furlongs off a 8 furlong race(Not sure if he last was 8 or 9 but I am going to go with 8)
