I think he's a nice horse, for sure. But i kinda feel he's best as a late running sprinter.good luck with him today!

there's lots to like other than the 12 post and the fact that he has never ran a 2 turn race that would threaten these.

They tell me that stretched out sprinters are always a threat.

This horse should not even be in this spot. He is the one horse with zero chance. Nice horse, mismanaged in at this distance.

Just in case you're right,, I'd be interested to box your trifecta picks. Can you help me out?

If you hit this exacta you'll have to call Brinks to haul off the money.

sometimes a threat, not always. depends on the situation.
His wins are at 6.5 furlongs or less. I like the horse but not in todays conditions. For these times this is one of the deeper Gr1's you'll find.

It was worth a shot putting him in. I think a shorter distance would be a good option, and the condition?...not my choice to make.
If he was mine, I'd look for a 7f G3.
