Earned a spot in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint via a Breeders' Cup Challenge victory in the Arlington Sprint at Arlington Park on Saturday, August 23, 2008.
Strengths: Blinding early speed has seen him lead after the opening quarter-mile in nearly every start, having success in dirt, all-weather and turf racing. Despite that speed, he’s not distance-challenged, placing in stakes at 1-1/16 miles and 1-1/8 miles. Consistent colt has fired across the country, from the mid-west to the Pacific coast. Four-year-old has displayed tremendous form since being switched exclusively to the turf.
Weaknesses: While there aren’t many turf sprint stakes above the Grade 3 level, his overall resume still has been light on top-class competition and represents a listed and Grade 3-type roll call. Has been able to open up daylight leads early in his dash successes, and he’ll have to prove he can take heat on both sides and finish against national and international Grade 1 horses.
