Hidden Scroll doesn't belong in the same sentence/paragraph/train-of-thought/crazy-train as a healthy Justify.
I think they've been compared 947 times since Hidden Scroll's best 'Mendelssohn impression/parody'.
However, Hidden Scroll's pace figures show that the pace in the FOY was fast enough early, that he deserves another chance. He didn't pass my eye-test, but even so, good horses go too fast all the time. There's a possibility he can at least be a top 20 horse if he's rated. There's also a smaller model which is interesting -- that work when he absolutely buried Tacitus (who won the Tampa Bay Derby with a favorable trip).
TLDR; If you're a Hidden Scroll fan, you still have hope.
