Comments:

Undefeated in 4 starts now. Won a Saratoga maiden special weight last year, then an allowance at Gulfstream for his 2008 debut. Won easily again in the Florida Derby despite running greenly. Stalked the pace then drew off to win by 4 3/4 lengths in the Kentucky Derby. Was an easy winner again in the Preakness, drawing off to win by 5 1/4 lengths. Off to the Belmont Stake now to try to become the next Triple Crown winner! It was announced on May 25th that he has a new quarter crack in his front left hoof, but it was repaired and seems to be healing and they have started galloping him again.
