Silks and Media:

|
Strengths: Classy veteran has taken on, and defeated, many of the world’s best sprinters while showcasing his talents around the globe. Solid, tracking running style allows him to keep elite sprinters in his crosshairs while not getting cooked in speed duels.
Weaknesses: His glory season of 2006 is in the rear-view mirror and his light campaigns of 2007 and ’08 have not elicited the same kind of career-best efforts. Has done nearly all of his work, and had all his success, strictly in dirt races.
Bet You Didn't Know: Privately purchased for $240,000 after his second start, and two starts later bagged $270,000 for winning the WinStar Derby.<
