Silks and Media:

Strengths: Unquestionable company lines in recent years, he’s taken on American stalwarts like English Channel, Big Brown, Better Talk Now, Kip Deville et al. Battle-tested and proven in tough, full fields of classy competitors and he nearly always is making up ground through the stretch.

Weaknesses: Kind of a “tweener” in that his best distances fall somewhere between the Breeders’ Cup Turf and Mile distances. Deep-closing style makes him susceptible to a slow early pace scenario and traffic troubles.
