1) He didn't debut until a couple weeks before the Mike Lee (and won the 6F NYB championship at 3 anyways... over several graded stakes placed horses)
2) He's a graded stakes winner at 6F in 2006
3) He ran 2nd to Bordanaro in the spring by a length at 6F, and Bordanaro was the 2nd choice in the BC Sprint
4) He missed 2nd in the Forego to War Front by a long nose, and War Front was a top 5 choice in the BC Sprint

Yeah... Friendly Island is total garbage.

He was the biggest overlay in the race.
