His race in the Belmont wasn't bad - he was there with Summer Bird at 12 furlongs after making a menacing move. Also a 2nd place finish in the Preakness ahead of Musket Man after he got a big pace setup thanks to Big Drama and RA mixing it up upfront.

I'm not pretending he's any good. But take him way back, get him relaxed, and he will pass everything that stops in front of him.

Super Saver might be even more of a one-hit wonder. Besides the Derby, where is his other good race?

Marathon seems most realistic.

Lukas showed with Azeri how clueless he can be about a horse. She wanted two turns, 8f-9f. So he ran her around one turn on Derby weekend (because it was a G1 and the 2-turn race was a G2), ran her at Belmont (all races in her range 1 turn), ran her at 10f. Now he has a one-paced horse with stamina ala Giacomo and wants to run him at a mile; better have a battalion of sacrificial sprinters to run 44-second half-miles ahead of him, like Giacomo had in the San Diego.

Someone is clearly forgetting the "Hippy Hippy Shake."
