He was in a no-holds barred speed duel on turf two-back.

His Champagne he was head-and-head with Uncle Mo through a 22 2/5 first quarter. I like the layoff line.

I can be completely wrong - but I think he's a better horse than his form suggests and I like that his trainer - who I know is fairly conservative even if I can't spell his name right - seriously considered entering him in either the Timely Writer or Tampa Derby first off a layoff. I think if he develops he's ok.
