Earned a spot in the Breeders' Cup Mile via a Breeders' Cup Challenge victory in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot on Saturday, September 27, 2008.
Strengths: Renowned international turf miler has finished his races with flair and appears to want more. Improving with each start despite a heavy Group 1 campaign, this 3-year-old does not appear to have reached his ceiling. Strong North American pedigree could translate well stateside, he’s by Elusive Quality out of a mare who is by Santa Anita Handicap winner Lord at War.
Weaknesses: Colt has never been asked to go around two turns, beyond one mile or on a left-hand course. Only trip outside of England resulted in a runner-up try at Chantilly, so he has to show he can translate his form around the world.
