He's an off-the-pace horse, but he's not a dead stone closer.

Right.

So he's in danger of getting either pinched or he's going to have to work out a trip from behind traffic or both.

We have a new gate here with 20 stalls in one unit.

It used to be at 14 and 1, and they had to bring in another gate.

And basically, if you ran straight out of the one hole, you'd run into the rail if you didn't veer in.

Now you can run a straight line, but other horses are going to have something to say about that.

So we'll see.

He's going to have to work out a trip.

He's got Erod Ortiz Jr., who's won a zillion Eclipse Awards as the top jockey in the country, but he's never won a Kentucky Derby.

So he's got that.

That's the issue.

But he looked great winning the Arkansas Derby.

So if he can carry that race with him into this race, then he's going to be a threat.

The horses that are belonging to Brad Cox, two of them.

You have Commandment, who won the Florida Derby, and that traditionally is the best way to get to a Kentucky Derby victory.

No prep race.

has produced more winners of the Kentucky Derby than the Florida Derby.

And he's drawn closer to the inside in the more ideal post.

But one I like a lot, and I think could either be a super horse, or, I mean, this is an all-or-nothing play, and this is the horse I'm keying on.
