Considering it was a big class jump plus he'd never been that far off of the pace before, as well as the ground loss it was a solid effort. Inexperience probably beat him more than any lack of inherent talent.

I couldn't have written my thoughts out any better.
Will be interested to see how he progresses this summer. May make some noise.

I don't like this horse at all, and can't understand his level of support.
With that said, I'm sure he'll win by 5.

Belmont Stakes Choice
With the Belmont Stakes being “Closer Bias” and this being my second wager of the year (Ky Derby was the first) I am going with Stradivari and see if he can hold off Exaggerator who probably will be the prohibitive favorite.

Unfortunately, he did not make it. Death report on-file with the Jockey Club.
