WIN THE SPACE --- Has he won the space?

WIN THE SPACE (gr/ro c 2012) http://www.pedigreequery.com/win+the+space

Have you seen any analysis written about 2015 Arkansas Derby participant WIN THE SPACE?
Even if connoisseurs don't consider him one of the favorites, in fairness, he
deserves at least to be acknowledged (I mean, his existence!)

This son of successful runner and sire Pulpit (sire of Tapit),
seems to be like an honest late-rushing performer. How good
is he, it has to be seen, but totally ignoring him is not a sound option.
Take a look at the replay and calculate his times. Hmmm, not that bad!

Imagine if he manages to collects a bunch of points.
Then he will be known as the astonishing achiever who
no one bothered to analyze. Yikes!

Hi Jorge,
I happened to mention him in the handicapping section in the Arkansas Derby thread.
"Win The Space...Sneaky maiden in here, he's a half to graded stakes filly House Rules. Off slowly in both lifetime starts sprinting at SA, but he could show the way in here going two turns? Desormeaux in to ride."
He needs to run 2nd to get the points needed to get a spot in the Derby starting gate....TJ

WIN THE SPACE looks like a capable late-rusher competitor.
Too late for him for the Derby but he looks like a Belmont aspirant.
If he blossoms according to his nice pedigree, he may well be running later
in the Haskell or even the Travers. But of course, first he has to win!

Hi Jorge,
He ran well, beaten only 10 1/4 lengths going a distance for the first time. I wonder what that says for the overall quality of the field? His half-sister, House Rules won the Top Flight Handicap at Aqueduct today. TJ
