This horse keeps putting himself in good position to win turning for home and then has just enough stamina and speed in reserve to out-finish these other 3yos.
In the Derby loss he was off half step slow, got jostled a bit and cut off, then was around 4 wide on both turns. Getting beaten only a length there was still a very good effort. It was just a tad too much to overcome.
There's obviously a limit to what he has in the tank, but imo he's one of those horses that's a bit better than the winning margins and figures he's running in most of his races. Someone is going to have run very well to beat him in the Travers.
