I like this 3yo colt crop a lot. They are lightly raced and still moving forward. Even if Knicks Go shakes loose and carries his speed, it's still not a lock that one of the 3yo can't move past him. He's very good on his best day when loose, but he's not great. There's room above him. I think I'll be keying the 3yos unless something about the way the track is playing changes my view or the odds aren't adequate.

He's a monster.
If Baffert wants to put a stamp on the race and send Medina Spirit on a mission, it makes things interesting.
I thought Knicks Go ran really big in Saudi Cup. Just had Charlatan also running huge to set it up for Mishriff.
The one race on Belmont Day for Knicks Go, I thought was a 'clunker'. He didn't bring his 'A' game/'eat his Wheaties' that day... Re-established as himself since then...
Good hand for Cox, obviously. As far at the thread title - EQ size seems fine, and then when a horse is running huge races you get to a point where none of the eye test stuff matters any more.
