He is certainly talented and has a fine trainer that could get to his ultimate potential evidentually if he stayed sound..The big issue is the clock, Is there any shot he isn't servicing mares Feb 1 10 instead of at Paysons Park still in training getting ready for the Donn? If so, we will be lucky that Evans kept what could be a real fine colt in training. More likely, it will be 100 mares at 25k a pop.

depends on demand. he may have not done enough to warrant much attention. in times like these, people tilt heavily towards established sires, rather than new and unknown.

Plenty of demand for a multiple Graded winner. The Fountain of Youth, Florida Derby, Amsterdam, and potential Cigar Mile would be plenty, not to mention a 3rd in the Travers to get a nice book. He won early he won early fast and he is from a very nice family from an already commericially accepted stallion.. In other words with a Cigar win he would have done enough.. lol
