He was something like 40/1 come raceday....albeit off of two mediocre races.

In Vegas, he was the future book favorite as soon as Stevie W got hurt (I guess that was in the first Cal race of the year for 3YO's, so not TECHNICALLY Jan 1.) About 10-1ish at the time.
(actually he ran 3 times at 3, won the Sam Davis with about a 103 Beyer, 2nd in the Tampa Derby with a 104, and bombed as the favorite in the Blue Grass on the ridiculous old Keeneland surface.)
