I actually think he could move up slightly by cutting back as a late-running sprinter. He's only sprinted a handful of times, and half of them were down-the-hill at Santa Anita on the turf. I think those can be ignored. He was also 4th as the favorite in a sprint at HP way back when. That was off a long layoff and he ran into eventualy Grade 1 winner Gayego. His other sprint was his debut, where he absolutely crushed a maiden special weight field.
He's been fairly competitive in most of his races this year, but has a habit of losing ground down the lane. I'd like to see what he'd do at 6.5f on the main track.
