If the 1 is healthy, he certainly can win this, but I agree 9/5 is an underlay on a horse who been in the barn for 8 1/2 months, which during the summer, leads me to believe he had some kind of injury and is racing at a distance less than what he really prefers.

I have to think that Shug shipping Data Link out to California means that he is ready for a big run.

While I think the 1 is definitely a vulnerable favorite, I suspect we will see a much more vulnerable favorite in the last race.
