He has 21 starts with 7 wins and 5 seconds and just under $418,000:

Debuted in January of his 3yo season. Ran terribly twice that month and didn't return until April which started the 17 races in 13 months string. Then took six months off and has made two starts since.

By the way, this is a pretty nice field for a G3 in early January. Looks like the decision to cut this race back from two turns at 9 furlongs to one turn at 8 furlongs was a good one. Now if only they'd do the same for the Holy Bull.

Its a great field. Could easily pass as a grade 2 and I have seen plenty of grade 1's not as good as this.

Gulfstream does a wonderful job with Saturday cards.
