Silks

Strengths: Pure distance runner has held outstanding company lines the past two years and is graded stakes-placed in New York and California in his career. Owns victories up to 1-3/4 miles and has handled carrying 124 pounds against world-class horses.

Weaknesses: Typically falls 12-15 lengths behind early, giving him a lot of work to do and he can be susceptible to a slow pace thwarting his chances to make up ground late. He has struggled against bigger fields, unable to uncork a wide move with the same fervor.
