want to see Fightingirish51195's opinion as well.
Mo Donegal looks to me like a 'closer'. I don't see him getting as favorable a trip in the Derby as his clear inside Wood run, unless the pace really melts down, or Irad(whoever gets the mount) pulls off their best Calvin Borel impersonation.
He's a heck of a horse. Met Zandon and Early Voting and was right there as a legit co-fav in both matchups. His Gulfstream Holybull race worked out with a track/flow against his style and he was still at least 2nd-best that day.
Both Mo Donegal and Zandon had closing trips in their final prep, but I view Zandon as 'mid-pack/Stalker', with Mo Donegal as a 'Closer'. I expect that to be what we see in the Derby.
