Figure makers disagree about how fast his last race was. It wasn't clear to me from the start who was more likely to be right and it's even less clear now after a couple of horses have run out of the race.

From what I can see, he's the most talented 3yo in his barn. He's well built, he moves well, he's got brilliance, and a bunch of stamina. His races were nice and he's training like a Grade 1 horse. I know Baffert does more in his works than most trainers, but his works make him look like the top 3yo in the crop. He looks like yet another once-in-a-generation horse, in a long line of frequently occurring, once-in-a-generation horses for the barn.
Is he American Pharoah/Justify type who has tons of success, or is he Roadster/Game Winner who has legit talent and success, but not enough to equal their hype?
