I loved the fact that he was able to lay close to a 46.30 half mile...that tractability is a weapon he's never shown before....if he can display that early speed to stay in decent contention early on against top class company and still display his devastating turn of foot in the stretch, then he may be a viable upset option in his next start against better.....I'm pretty suspect on his 111 Beyer figure earned...think it is inflated like many LS Beyers have been so far this year (if you've kept up with LS you know what I mean)..probably more like around a 105-ish number, which still isn't horrible.

He'll still have to improve to catch Lava Man at this point IMO. Buyt I like him better than Surf Cat as a closer going the Classic handicap distances on the West coast.
