Agreed
He's a long shot. I do like that he may be on the lead (I'm not convinced that Baffert or Sherman think they need the lead).
Long shots who at least figure to have the lead or initiative at some point, always get a recognition of a puncher's chance from me, over long shots who don't.
(Really just building a case now) Nyuist's Parx race was very flat, but it was on the quirky Parx surface and he kind of moved up 3 wide the entire race. Haskell and the Preakness were sloppy collapse(Exaggerator) races. Race before that was the Derby. Now he goes home and gets a fast track and the lead.
8-1 or so on the board? He's not the worst long shot in the field.
