He was 4th in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and won the Hollywood Futurity last year. Came back this year to win the San Rafael, Santa Catalina, and Santa Anita Derby. Had a rough trip in the Derby but managed to get up for 4th in a dead heat with Jazil. Was bothered and had to check early in the Preakness when Barbaro broke down in front of him, but still managed to finish 4th.
