Was he the one that Baffert called a miler? His female family relations include Exogenous, Curlin, and Countess Diana. Also Win Variation, a GSW in Japan who finished 2nd to Orfevre in the Japanese TC races. If SNN is out of an Unbridled's Song mare, is by Pulpit, and has extended family that can handle routes, I assume he must've given some indication that he got some serious genes from the Phone Trick branch of the family tree. Is he built like a sprinter or something? Perhaps a Midnight Lute-esque breathing issue that limits his distance capabilities?
Incidentally, I figure Midnight Lute's gonna get some distance horses. It's a shame his problem couldn't be worked out. Fortunately he had enough talent/speed to handle sprinting or he wouldn't have gotten the chance he's getting at stud. He's Real Quiet's big hope to continue that line and now Quiet American's pensioned.
