I tend to agree though I don't know distance wise unless he got a lot of stamina from his mom.

He's a half to multiple route winner Board Elligible, who ran 2nd in the Ladies Handicap when it was 10 furlongs. His dam is a full to a route winner on grass and a half to another multiple route winner on both turf and dirt.

He's a vastly different son of Successful Appeal than a horse like JP's Gusto.
