Are you asking because you like him? I tried hard to make a case for him, and I cant. I have him ranked no better then 7th best in this field.

No, I am asking because I am lazy and prefer not to have to handicap a horse that is not going to run. Plus, it could also affect the race shape, though, not so much here since Kid Cruz would likely be closing from far back.

An article on drf now mentioned the Preakness as a possible goal.

interested to see who comes out of the Wood
not sure about everyone else, but i didn't think it was a great race

would love to fade a few in the derby
