I just think it looks like this colt has all the makings of potentially a very good 2yo (which I realize isn't the boldest statement in the world coming off two large margins of victory).
I certainly agree. Of course, many people actually try to tab 2YOs that could progress into good 3YOs and this is simply not the time of year to do that (and you didn't).

The only 2YOs in recent years I really liked as 3YOs going forward were Any Given Saturday and Drosselmeyer. Unfortunately, the latter had proven himself as worthless IMO before his shocking (to me) Belmont victory.
