I've been keeping an eye on him ever since I saw him at Arlington Park for the Arlington-Washington Futurity over Labor Day weekend. There was a lot of buzz about him even though he raced up front early and flat ran out of gas at the 1/2 mi pole, finishing 7th.
Came back over the synthetic in the Kentucky Cup Juv at Turfway going 1 1/16th..Much more reasonalbe fractions, but a questionable (at best) ride by Borel, he was relegated to third - with a clean trip I believe it was his to win.
His last was a place effort at CD in the Kentucky Jockey Club which was clearly his best effort to date, and had Borel started him a little earlier, again I believe he was the horse to beat. He's a dead closer and that isn't my favorite type of running style for the Derby; but a classy horse that, with the right jock, looks to be able to get it done over both surfaces. Who knows? I'd certainly throw 10 bucks on a future bet @ 150-1
