I think he will be a great sprinter/miler, but he is probably not a route-type horse IMO.

I dont know why people keep saying about his expectations. I dont get it. Just because he cost some money doesnt mean you have to put lofty expectations on him. It is just like a 1st round draft pick in the NBA. Darko was taken 2nd before Wade. Detroit spent millions on him and he didnt pan out. No big deal at all. My only expectation of this horse is to see him race. I dont care if he doesnt win a race, or goes undefeated. I just want to see him race.
