Second race, he was content to stalk the leaders through a 44.35 half and he went 1:07.85, 1:13.92. Then this third race, he went to the lead and ran them into submission again. Granted, the pace was not fast at all (48.06, 1:12.15) but that's what made it so wonderful. The way he completely relaxed on the lead in his first route attempt and still finished well was nice to see. It's not too many horses out there that have the kind of speed he has shown that can also relax and carry it a distance.
Sire ?

I was hoping you'd have a good comeback.

He's some horse.
