You've got the verticality... Just keep working on those 'mad skillz' yo..

Bennie is still working on the colt and he came into the race in perfect shape. Susie, his exersize rider, says he continues to improve and was particularly good getting ready for this while the Calder surface was tightened up for the breeze show.

I thought Paco Lopez gave him an excellent and patient ride. Nunez kept coming out on him with Finallymadeit down the stretch too, and Smooth Air just kept to the task. Came back for the photo and wasn't breathing hard at all.

He's a helluva nice little horse and is now 14/6-3-3 for $930,000, with the Derby and BCC the lone OTB finishes and 3 Gr. II wins. Met Mile the target.

Enjoyed being in the party yesterday with the Burns Family, Bennie and Diane, the great Salty Roberts and the rest of the happy team.
