| The Line: Where do I begin? He required minimal urging to defeat arguably the most talented Derby field of the last 10 years. Sure, he benefited from a dream trip, but because of the blazing pace, so did almost every other contender at Churchill, and they still couldn't catch him. His ability to change gears on the fly distinguishes him from one-move rivals like Impeachment and Aptitude, and it's possible he could win the Preakness wire-to-wire. Only his health can stand in his way on Saturday. |
