Spring of Fame.. The Grand Slam colt that was flying at the end of the Kempton race. Will target the Lexington.

Wouldn't " moving less slowly than the others " be a better description than flying?

Brilliant news- he was the one many felt had the best chance to do well in the derby had he won! Magnusson rates him extremely highly. Is he switching trainers btw!?

The guy said it is dependent on whether the sale goes through. If not, they'd stay with the current trainer.

Would you say that because they were crawling early, they shouldn't get much credit for picking it up a little late ?

This horse would have to win the Lexington to get close to the Derby gate anyhow. He has no graded earnings and that race is only worth $326k.
