Please, please do not run him in the BC. He is an effort horse. He needs a softer spot or they will kill him. He was very tired after his race against Lava Man. This horse only needs more time and a little confidence. Cant wait to see how he progresses as a 4 year old. I thought he might have been destroyed after that terribly difficult Derby and then a Preakness he had no business running in. I think he can get lots better with time.

i agree , he ran much better then his 4rth place finish in the derby. i knew that the race prior to the goodwood was a throw out even tho some on here gave up on him. this horse has talent. better post and cleaner race in the derby i think a 2nd. this horse has had the worst trips in 2 tc races in awile. brother derek is a very nice horse
