Tough, tough pace set up. I think he wins again. As a gelding he'll be around for a while. Isn't it true that horses get better as they get to four years old?
He'll win again.

sure he can win again, but its going to take a drop in class, and that says something looking at the WV Derby field, a perfect trip, and maybe even some rain.
Horses who need perfect trips to win are average horses, we have lots of those in grade 3's, which is about this horses level.

One trainer down there told me Big Drama passed out after the race - and was on the ground for a long while - but he did not die.

He was put in an impossible to win race and had to move early today. The horse will win again.

And considering Big Drama allegedly passed out from heat stroke after the race on the walk back to the barn - and was down for a long time - I guess he's not a gutless pig. He was done on the turn.

I'm not ready to write him off just yet. If he fizzles in the Travers and Super Derby, there is always the turf and those short-field grass marathons in SoCal.

He's going to win JCGC, then end his career in Wadworth Memorial and retire

He will win again, if he stays healty.
He likes synthetic surfaces and that usually favors his running style, he will find a group somewhere he can handle. He is also clearly dangerous in any race with a strong pace.

I would say he could become another Perfect Drift, but I don't think he's that good.
