Private Zone a gutsy horse.
One of the rare horses that regularly comes back again when passed. For that reason when you are for or against this horse, you really have to wait till the wire to know if he is beaten or going to re-attack.
That said, if all show, he will need to be all of that in the Met Mile. Tonalist ran huge, albeit in a small field, in his prep. Bayern will certainly run better. Palace Malice figures better off the prep and it seems that Pletcher is giving serious thought to running his talented 3 year old here, which if he does, will be quite a bullish sign. (retro back to Holy Bull, Gulch and Honour ang Glory.
