The Line: He's done everything asked of him so far, stretching out in distance and racing to the lead from off the pace. Everybody keeps saying he's a sprinter because he set the track record at Belmont for 5 1/2 furlongs in the Tremont. He's run well this spring, finishing ahead of horses like Captain Steve, Wheelaway and Hal's Hope, but he hasn't won. He'd surprise everybody if he gets up for first in the Derby, but it wouldn't be a shock to see him finish in the money.
