He did survive Orman's handling of him and go undefeated in four Graded Stake races ranging from distances of 7 furlongs to 10 furlongs before retiring with an injury. In those four races, he beat name horses like Saint Liam, Lava Man, Borrego, Choctaw Nation, Roman Ruler, Imperialisim etc. He had enough raw speed to win sprinting on debut with a 101 Beyer - he won a Grade 1 sprinting against the grain and off the layoff at SA. He certainly had stamina as well. Probably would have been an awfully good synthetic track horse with the big time turf pedigree he had ... excellent turf sire & dam was a champ in Europe. Plus, he was one of about 74 different horses where Gary Stevens publicly said "this is the best horse I ever rode."

He wasn't a very good shipper. Big horse, with a big attitude, who always held up the start. Though, he only shipped in his races for Orman and not Mandella. So there could be something to that. If you judge him strictly on his California form and disregard his 3 long trips East ... he's a pretty solid and consistant horse.
