he looks like Point Given with his big size. As far as as being Point Given, he has yet to prove it but to me very capable if his Lanes End win is any indication of his ability

He is far better looking than PG. He still looks and moves like a grass horse to me.

Grass horse? You kidding me? He ran nothing like a grass horse in the Lanes End. He does not have a quick turn of foot as you would need in a grass race but he does have a nice long stride. If he does decide to go on grass, I would put him nothing shorter than a mile and a half

Tell that nonsense to the horses he SMOKED on the turf at Gulfstream on January 11 at 1 1/16 miles. Honestly, have you ever looked at the horse's PP's? One polytrack win and all of a sudden he's no longer a grass horse?

Only difference between that turf race and his poly track win was that one is NW1 ALW and the other is a G II.

Oh for the love of GRITS.
Really? He has yet to prove he is as good as Point Given?
Interesting.
Just so you know, my grandma also hasn't proven yet that she is as good in the 100 meters as Carl Lewis.
