The dam, Weekend Storm, is a full sister to the lengendary Summer Squall and a half sister to the equally legendary A. P. Indy. Now, those are some awesome bloodlines.

Who gives a crap? Blackberry Road is bred to be a monster too.

3) Won a graded stakes at CD as a two year old. Might like the track.

So did Anak Nakal.

4) Showed heart and guts winning both the IRQ and the REMSON as a two year old. Need to watch the replay to see what I mean.

Eh, that's subjective, so I can't argue.

5) Late kick. I know some will say he is slow but this horse seems to have a 5th gear that is on display very late in his races. Watch the replays and you will see what I mean.

I shudder to think what his first four gears are if that's his fifth.
