The preakness he waited for and then did like a 'workout target' vs his Irad on some hopeless out-of-Baffert long shot.
While that may have confused the field rivals committed to a mid-pack/tracking style, and was aided by Rosario's terrible position, I think it hints at being able to set a slow pace if no one wants to go.
Maybe the overhyped track is a conClayer belt? And Cyberknife and Early Voting will actually both be happy to set a honest pace and he can choose to track?
If not I think Early Voting may be able to set a slow pace and just run independently of Zandon and if good enough, contend.
