It looks like he's through his conditions, so there are not many options. Though he's run 3 BSF's over 100, each was followed by a heavy regression, meaning he doesn't stand hard racing. He's run with good horses but when he runs with very good ones, he gets beaten. He may be Mid-Atlantic stakes quality but he's not NY stakes quality. I'm guessing that if Trombetta and the owners felt he was worth it, they'd try him in some of the MD stakes. The fact that they are willing to lose him says he may have a gaping hole. Of course he may still win for fun and be claimed and have a good winter. He's bred for mud, has speed and could be an inner tube monster. One man's floor is another man's ceiling.
