Maybe it was because of his last race?

American Lion is nice and all, but at this point he wants no part of LAL, the connections made the right move skipping and pointing to next year.

He hasn't breezed since he raced.

Very interesting to see Wildlee Special in here. I made him a "buzz" horse for Horseplayer NOW after his maiden win at Meadowlands. Thought it was a sensational performance, and extremely visually impressive, but never thought a Grade I would be his next stop.

Think he'll turn out to be a really good one.

He could turn out to be really good, it is Dutrow.
I dont see it though, what was so impressive about his maiden win? He already had 2 starts, both times he kinda just clunked up, then he gets a dream run and beats a decent at best group of only 6. I also realize the 2-4 finishers all came back to run well, but none of them really ran fast.
