Strengths: Devastating late turn of foot, exemplified in his 2007 Breeders’ Cup Sprint romp, the widest margin of victory in race history at nearly five lengths. He’s proven over multiple track surfaces around the country on fast and sloppy conventional dirt as well as all-weather tracks.
Weaknesses: Stop-and-go campaign in 2008 consisting of only one start through October, a 10th-place finish after a rough trip left him scraped and cut on his legs. Beaten at short odds in the Cigar Mile last fall, so there’s concern if he can reproduce his career-defining effort.
In The Genes: Son of 1998 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Real Quiet, also a Bob Baffert trainee. He is the third winner produced by the unraced Dehere mare Candytuft.
