D.) You are make believing that he has distance limitations because of how he ran one race when he battled Super Saver into defeat and came up empty late in a sneaky good effort.
E.) The best shot he has to win a Triple Crown race is probably the Belmont Stakes. If he gets a free ride on the lead like Da Tara got - he will run like a horse who has been begging to run 12 furlongs his whole life. Also, a lot of the true speed to pressure him will be off the triple crown trial by that time.

No, I've moved off of the distance-limitations issue; I really did want to know what you would do with him if he's not a Derby horse. I'm fine with him not going to the Derby, but unless he runs poorly next out, you know he's going.
