Silks and Media:

Strengths: While capable of 44-and-change sprint fractions, he’s been patient enough routing to ration that speed and show a remarkable amount of professionalism relative to his experience. Has been able to blow-out weaker competition and hint that he could be any kind. Outfinished Travers winner Colonel John at 1-1/8 miles, but also has been able to win sprints in 1:08-3/5.

Weaknesses: Perhaps exposed as a regional threat only when his Pennsylvania Derby effort waned down the stretch in his only try outside his home comfort zone (and on dirt). Has to prove he can beat top older horses, and that he can handle multiple challenges in a large field.
