Last year he was 3rd in the Kentucky Derby, 1st in the Preakness, and 2nd in the Belmont Stakes, then won the Jockey Club Gold Cup and the Breeders' Cup Classic, and was named Horse of the Year for 2007. This year he has won the Dubai World Cup, Stephen Foster, Woodward, and Jockey Club Gold Cup. Unsure how he would react to a synthetic surface, they shipped him to California to prep. His workout on October 13 was impressive enough that they went ahead and decided to run him in the Classic.
