He's an easy horse to root for. Feisty sonofagun though. I visited his stall at Saratoga the day after the Forego and he almost bit my hand off when I gave him a peppermint. How many quality non-geldings are running (happy, healthy, and well) at 6 these days?? Hopefully he has a huge year.

This horse used to have amazing speed from the gate and I think the fact that they figured out how to rate him was the best thing that ever happened to him. Hes all heart and been in some terriffic finishes.

The Dubai Sprint (easily in my top 5 races) is shaping up to be great.
