He's obviously less live than than his win in the Kentucky Derby suggests but IMO more live than those that are totally dismissing the race as a pace related fluke believe. He got a good setup and ride that day, but he also did some running.
IMO, it's less about whether his "A" race fits and more about the probability of him firing another "A" race like THAT and overcoming what is likely to be a moderate to slow pace. The Travers looks similar to the Jim Dandy pace wise where poor Zandon had to prompt. If it's not too slow early, I think Rich Strike could get a piece.
