A stakes winner at Woodbine last year, he was 2nd in the voting for Canadian champion 2-year-old colt. His only good race this year was a 2nd place finish in the Lane's End at Turfway behind the late With a City. His final prep was a 32 1/2 length loss in the Blue Grass at Keeneland. Went 5 furlongs in 59 2/5 and galloped out 6 furlongs in 1:13 and change at Churchill Downs. His connections decided that was good enough that they will go on to the Derby despite his poor race last out. Runner-up for Champion 2-year-old colt in Canada last year, he was 5th in the Sam F. Davis at Tampa Bay Downs in his first start of 2006. Came back to be 2nd in the Lane's End at Turfway then was a miserable 6th by over 32 lengths in the Toyota Blue Grass at Keeneland. Still going to the Derby though after a good final work of 59 2/5 for 5 furlongs at Churchill Downs.
