I agree. His 88 Beyer in the Private Terms is accompanied by this trip line: "Brk slw,pinch,5-7w,drv". I haven't watched the Private Terms, but that sounds like 3+ lengths of trouble, which would bring his speed fig up into the low-mid 90's. Certainly competitive with most of the horses in the Future Wager.

With $100K in the Win Pool, he's 54-1.
