Thanks for the heads up, Joey... I'm adding him to my stable mail. Haven't seen him run, but I like his pedigree.

Originally sold for 110K as a yearling. His dam is a full sibling to Kentucky Oaks winner Blushing KD

I don't think it was a bad field at all.

When he went to that sale he should have brought more...he was a really good looking colt...but being a may foal he just mentally wasn't ready for the sale environment...he behaved like an absolute pig all week...

Did you see kentuckyderby.com? The "Southern" guy on there wrote an article about him saying he wished he hadn't already picked his RTTR horses, or he would have included him.

Looks like he was impressed too.
