He broke very poorly, was the only one that threatened Lawyer Ron on the turn and then tired late to finish fourth. He's not good enough for the Classic but shouldn't have a problem in the Dirt Mile as long as the monster in Royal Blue doesn't show up and bring his 'A' game. I just don't believe that the Dirt Mile is going to be a big draw that is going to suck away all these Classic horses like others think. More likely it will be the horses that would have just skipped the Classic anyways. If it ever becomes a G1 then that would be a huge disaster that would have exactly the same ramifications that all the Chicken Little's have projected. Until then it is just an undercard race with a souped up purse that isnt going to stop people from going for the big prize.
