There is definitely not enough substance to his name to come anywhere near to warrant his current price. He beat a filly under 1 1/2 lengths who was nowhere near her top form under 2 lengths receiving 3 pounds.

He finished 7th in the Dewhurst.

He came fourth in the Guineas, all out with a cosy winner value for much more than the official margin of 2 1/2 lengths.

He does not look in any way as he will benefit from a step up in trip, unlike say Gan Amhras.

At the moment, he is a hype horse, and I imagine if he doesn't win the Derby, the excuse rolled out will be 'he has too much speed'

[QUOTE="Hamm, post: 2191674, member: 65416"] There is definitely not enough substance to his name to come anywhere near to warrant his current price. He beat a filly under 1 1/2 lengths who was nowhere near her top form under 2 lengths [I]receiving[/I] 3 pounds. He finished 7th in the Dewhurst. He came fourth in the Guineas, all out with a cosy winner value for much more than the official margin of 2 1/2 lengths. He does not look in any way as he will benefit from a step up in trip, unlike say Gan Amhras. At the moment, he is a hype horse, and I imagine if he doesn't win the Derby, the excuse rolled out will be 'he has too much speed' ;) [/QUOTE]
