On synthetic - he's 14-12-1-1 and made over 162K. Pretty good for a horse who was 0-for-18 in the state of Florida... with a 5th beaten 8+ lengths in a bottom level maiden claimer in his final Sunshine State try.
I love the try at 2f in his 2nd start after getting drilled by 12 1/2 at 4.5f in his first race.
