I had tossed him from my exacta in the Risen Star because of the post position, and the idea that he would be wide into the 1st turn.

He was in fact forced to use a little early speed and go wide into the 1st turn - and he still ran a competitive 2nd - so obviously he I misjudged his ability and/or he ran pretty well in the Risen Star.
