Silks and Media:

Strengths: One of America’s few, pure turf sprinters, he knows one game and is trained and prepared for those challenges. Excellent traveler has canvassed the east coast from Miami to Toronto and handles most any course and course condition. Proved he can handle a big crowd when winning on the Preakness undercard. Sit-and-pounce style puts him in the mix without getting cooked early.

Weaknesses: He’s never raced beyond 6 furlongs on turf and never won beyond 6 furlongs on any surface. Because he’s been such a specialist, he’s often raced against the same competition despite traveling to different circuits, and seldom has faced Grade 1-caliber horses from around the country and world.
