When I saw that horse in the entries, I wondered why I knew the name. I remember the Febuary tout.

It was the most expensive yearling by it's sire to sell at auction that year...I was aware of him... I could have guessed he was with Ellis when KyRim pronounced his greatness and than said he wasn't much all within the same hour.

Not bad. Not bad at all. Understatement.

Horse is a runner......but with Ellis' track record of keeping horses healthy they better strike while the iron is hot.

God is right. The answer is No.
He's by Jump Start (a fragile Lukas son of A. P. Indy who was 2nd to Officer in the Champagne) out of a lightly raced Carson City mare that Pat Byrne trained. Doesn't sound like the type of horse that will be around for a long time pedigree wise. I think in years past he's the type of horse that you'd just call "a nice prospect" at this stage ... however, with the current state of horse racing .. he's had 2 races against the type of horses you'd call "suspects" .. and he no doubt has to be taken seriously as one of the 5 or 10 older males most likely to contend for a division title next year.
