While I am certainly a fan of this horse and his sire, I'm a little concerned with his lack of experience. I was also a little concerned with the track he ran on with standing water and a seeming lack of crowd and atmosphere that he is likely to encounter. I have also never seen an automatic qualifier for one of the richest races in the world ran over such a "bush" track. I wish the horse luck and will be rooting for him.
