When a horse by AP Indy and out of a multiple-G1 winning daughter of Seeking the Gold runs that kind of race at 7f, people - perhaps understandably - start getting excited about the horse's potential when stretching out as a 3yo.

The pedigree stuff goes without saying.
Thank whatever deity you believe in that this horse is not named bob black jack!!
