In those four races, he beat name horses like Saint Liam, Lava Man, Borrego, Choctaw Nation, Roman Ruler, Imperialisim etc.

He had enough raw speed to win sprinting on debut with a 101 Beyer - he won a Grade 1 sprinting against the grain and off the layoff at SA. He certainly had stamina as well.

Probably would have been an awfully good synthetic track horse with the big time turf pedigree he had ... excellent turf sire & dam was a champ in Europe.

Plus, he was one of about 74 different horses where Gary Stevens publicly said "this is the best horse I ever rode."

You forgot the part where he lost to My Snookie's Boy....badly.
