Strengths: Though he’s rarely appeared in Grade 1 races, he’s kept elite company lines against the likes of Kip Deville, After Market, The Tin Man, etc. Versatile runner has sprinter’s ability, but also won the Del Mar Derby at 1-1/8 miles. He’s capable of unleashing a quick turn of foot when called upon. Remarkably consistent, he fires every time.

Weaknesses: Even when favored, he’s had a tough time putting away competition and winning with daylight flair, leaving himself little margin for error in a race that begs for racing luck and smooth sailing. Historically has run his best races when freshened and just off a layoff.
