I suppose it was only his second start.

Seemed to bobble at the break, then pulled that typical A.P. Indy-like "I won't accelerate on the turn no matter how much urging the rider does" run into the stretch. Ground it out for a placing, but was no match at any point for Union Rags.
Looked very plodder-like, but given his awesome debut (and the likelihood that Union Rags is a Fly So Free-type), I'm not willing to write him off for next year's classics just yet. I hope he runs 5th or 6th in the BC Juvenile so he's a decent number in the future books.
