Isn't he supposed to be Baffert's Haskell horse?
What kind of number did There And Back get in his maiden win last week? He might have to be Justify-Lite or at least this year's version of Pavel...

I havent seen the number.
Baffert really has somewhat a weak bench other than the horses that ran on Belmont day.
He does not top class sprinters this year, and his other 3yo's are the same crew that were weak 2 year olds last season.
