In the Futurity, do not discount Nick Zito's PAINT, from at least exotics consideration, based on the Beyer.. He was stunning in a 5.5f debut that he should not have won. Will only be better stretching out. Pinhooked by the Fastok family for $100,000 as a yearling and sold for $400,000 as a 2yo in training.. Could be a really nice horse..

I totally agree about Paint. He completely missed the break in his debut, spotted a decent field of maidens a couple of lengths, and still came wide to win comfortably in a style that suggests he might like 7f more than the 5.5 of his debut. He could be a factor.
