I'm not even sure he's better than Fed Biz or Bodemeister. He might be the 3rd best router in your lovers stable.

They're all close to me. Bejarano used all them for positon out of the gate and I haven't seen what either of the three is capable of when they aren't sent...because it's never happened before with any of them.

Because of how lightly raced early 3-year-olds are now...it's a big guessing game with a lot of them until they prove what they are and what they want to do.

People love slow young horses. The ones who don't have much speed and come from 6 lengths off of it to win with a moderate figure -- those aren't the ones who win the Derby. Even Giacomo was right on top of fast paces (albeit because of speed biases) -- Mine That Bird blew leads in the stretch in his two Derby preps. Even the deep closers had good raw speed. That was the point.
