Agree with you. I watched a few of his races and see no issue. He's been a bit rank early, maybe a little less so than usual last time which is a good sign but Prat hasn't been on before so we'll see. My one fear is Baffert. That's always tough because his horses just 'stay on' so if he hits the front you're always in a war to get by. Look at the Preakness winner, wins a boat race then evaporates in the Belmont taking no money, by the end of the year he's a nose away from taking down a BC race against older, now still plugging along into 4yo year doesn't go away even without the lead now in Dubai, like the guy from Halloween with the mask, these horses just keep hitting next level and staying.
