Comments:

Winner of the Kentucky Jockey Club at Churchill Downs in November, he ran an even race to finish 4th in the Holy Bull at Gulfstream Park for his 3-year-old debut. In the Fountain of Youth, he was last for most of the race then rallied to finish 3rd although still beaten 8 1/4 lengths. Bred to be a sprinter, although he does have two wins at 1 1/16 miles. Announced on 3/25 that he has a "slight" leg injury which will keep him out of the Florida Derby and subsquently the Kentucky Derby.
