His debut was pretty good, but against a bunch of plugs. His 2nd start, in the Pennsylvania Nursery, was an absolute tour de force. He broke slow, rushed up, and went 1:08 3/5 and 1:21 4/5, which is unheard of at Phila Park and even more amazing for a green 2yo. I remember I was in AC at the Borgata and was going nuts that he was going to win the Derby, 6 months later on Derby Day I was back in the same place and the old guys who razzed me were like "you're the guy who was going crazy for this horse back at Philly Park".
I can't find the video anywhere but if anybody has it I haven't seen it in a long time.
