He has a TON of speed, unlike an Aldabaron, and would hardly be badly outrun in, say, the BC Sprint. Do you honestly believe he wouldn't be MUCH closer than Taste of Paradise who arguably was the winner of the BC Sprint last year?
And, yes, he also has more speed than Silver Train.
What he really needs to do is stay sound.

I agree...I think he can be a legit BC Sprint horse, especially now that he's older and probably more mature....he just needs to be able to relax and rate somewhat against horses that will carve out a faster first quarter than him (unless he hooks them early and then he will be deadmeat), but this horse has displayed insane speed and has shown that 1:08 is very attainable with his speed on a consistent basis.....I think he was classy enough to stretch out under the right scenario last year, but there is no way that I think he is just a 'tweener'...I think 6 furlongs in teh BC Sprint could be right up his alley in November...
