I think it's a classic speed-route pedigree.
The sire was a close 2nd to Tiznow in the Breeders Cup Classic. The dam sire won the Breeders Cup Classic wire-to-wire.
The dam won her only route start over a next-out stakes winner -- and she is a half sister to Tale of the Cat who was 2nd to Awesome Again in the Whitney and was beaten less than 3 lengths as just a 3rd time starter in a Haskell field loaded with five excellent horses. Those being his only two career tries at 9f's or beyond.
