A pure speedball, he only seems to win when he gets to the front early. He showed this off in the Toyota Blue Grass where he led wire to wire and won by a wide margin. However, in the past he has always finished double digit lengths behind when he didn't get his way early. He isn't likely to get away with the lead in the Kentucky Derby with so many other speed horses, like Keyed Entry, in the field.
