He is evolving as a racer, competing in longer races as he goes, but he has yet to compete in an event as long as, and against the type of competition as, the Kentucky Derby. That is a reason to be cautious when placing bets, but he is young, has speed, and has the pedigree that one looks for from potential Derby winners.
