Silks and Media:

Earned a spot in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf via a Breeders' Cup Challenge victory in the Summer Stakes at Woodbine on Saturday, October 4, 2008.

Strengths: Finished strongly to win Summer Stakes with 23-and-change final quarter-mile despite 7-wide trip and rider losing whip. Improving colt beat solid Saratoga shipper in Woodbine stakes, giving some sense he might be more than just a regional player.

Weaknesses: Both victories to open his career were around 1 turn, so he’ll have to prove he can translate his form around 2 bends. Also has yet to travel outside his home base at Woodbine.
