'I'll Have Another' may well be the next one, even though the odds are against him.
I've watched the finish to the two previous races, and he appears to have a lot of stamina, squirting past the leaders, as they ran out of steam. This gives me the impression that Gutierrez knows just what he can get out of the horse. I haven't compared both races on video, but I still thought he was able to get by the leaders in good shape. Also, Gutierrez was pacing things, and may have either slightly misjudged when to go all out, or he may have been slightly blocked on the inside. I'd have to go back and look.
If the two can pace themselves during this longest race, he may well be able to overtake the field and bring home the Crown. I eyeballed the horse right after the race, and it looked like he had just finished a short jog. This guy looks like a long distance runner to me.
