After watching his videos this horse is my pick until at least post positions are drawn. For a horse making his 4th start, the Wood was pretty impressive. He had a lot of trouble on the first term, bounced around pretty good. He had his back end taken out about 100 yards out of the gate and crowded and steadied going into the first turn. He was a bit green late but was pulling away. I don't think he is reliant on pace. He can sit close or come from off it. Breeding is other worldly, mother was a beast, can run all day. I toss out the issue of the Wood not producing much in recent history. Hell we had an unraced at 2 horse win the triple crown last year. I see this guy hitting the lead at the 3/16 pole and drawing away.
