Curtis Paynter hasn't done anything yet outside of exciting clockers with his workouts from pretty much before he started.
He's an N2X alw horse who couldn't win on a pokey pace in a weak Belmont ... but I guess he tossed a shoe, and has continued to train like the worlds greatest horse since.
Even with the hype, Hansen is a clear-cut post time favorite in the Haskell if he went there.
However, what incentive did he have to run in the Haskell? He's already a 2yo champion so adding another Grade 1 isn't going to matter. So, you go get the money.
