Share a quick,funny story.....I was at the Oklahoma track in Saratoga early one morning last August and talk got around to the 2 yr. old MSW later that day and who liked who etc. etc.. One of the regulars says his buddy Zito's horse has been a thing of beauty in the mornings and the whole barns praying that 6/1 ML holds up because he'll win for fun.
Anyway... cell phones are going a mile a minute and don't you know the horse goes of even or a tick below and looks fantastic in an easy win!
He's a real nice horse that I would play before any of the other newcomers. Drew (Dray) was up there at the time, so he may remember the race as well.
And DOWN the stretch they come!

He worked an insane 1/2 mile this morning at Belmont - 2nd fastest out of 105 that worked the distance.

Saw him at the 2yo sale last year. He was quite a specimen then. It was a boys vs. men situation and he was one of the few who looked like a man. For whatever that's worth. He's a looker, anyway. His 4F time this morning was quite impressive, but of course I didn't see how he did it. His work was only a hundredth behind Flashy Bull's, and Flashy is a pretty speedy 4yo.
