I really liked this horse and still do, the thing I didn't want to admit before the Kentucky Derby was that he was over the top with all of that racing, he had to go backwards at some point without taking a break, that was my error in judgement. I think the jury is still very much out on him, he may never be able to improve after his injury, but I certainly would not say he is slow, and if he comes back, he could improve. With that said, I do not think he's as talented as Bernardini or Jazil, but he could certainly hold his own against a Blue Grass Cat or Sunriver....

I think that he is at about the same level of talent as Jazil and Bluegrass Cat, and is better than Sunriver or Steppenwolfer. I don't think he would have ever beaten the top horses such as Barbaro or Bernardini, but he is a neat little horse who I think is more than capable of running in Grade II company which is most likely what BC, Jazil, Sunriver, and Stepp will be running in by the end of the year. I don't see any of these horses besides Bernardini going on to be true Grade I horses. Not with FA, Invasor, and some other three year olds that will now start to step up to the plate.
