I've liked him for a few races now... was VERY thrilled when he won at Keeneland.

I didn't think much of him last year, but wow...has he impressed this year.
Do you know if he's back at Hollywood gearing up for the Shoemaker mile next month?

I have cashed quite a few tickets on him. I keep thinking every race, there is no way I can get a good price on him, and sure enough I do. Nailed the exacta and tri in his last race agianst SU. And his race before that in Calif. He is a really nice horse, now that he will rate somewhat. Remember the race where he was 45 lenghts in front on the backside?

i saw him at the Va. Derby last year. i was convinced after that race, they should not run him beyond 1 mile.

Sure has improved a bunch this year. The talent was there last year, but he just seemed to put it together this year. I think we might have a Breeder's Cup Mile angle forming. How about three years in a row the winner of the Maker's Mark Mile wins the Mile??

I seem to recall JJ and Steve talking this one up on ATRAB before the current success.
