His other sprint was his debut, where he absolutely crushed a maiden special weight field.

He's been fairly competitive in most of his races this year, but has a habit of losing ground down the lane. I'd like to see what he'd do at 6.5f on the main track.
I agree with this avenue for EGM.............there are plenty of 7F to 1M races all over to make lots of $$$ and still not risk losing the horse. If Caleb's Posse (who I like) can go this route why not EGM.
