Looks like he is improving this year off of a great year. He just keeps getting better. I wonder what his value will be and how the market will take him as a stud. No Montrook son has made it at stud. And there were some with high expectations.

Hi Derby,
He is a real nice horse, trained to the minute....he couldn't be any more ready than he was Saturday. He is sheer speed, so he may not be sought after in the breeding shed....but it seems like they're having a ball racing him. Gotta give kudo's to Dave Fawkes....he's done a great job with this guy.

Fawkes' wife Celia was my pony girl years ago and had a lot to do with his success.

He's also a graded stakes winner around 2 turns, nearly won the W. Va. Derby at 1 1/8, and was beaten 5 lengths in Rachel's Preakness after pressing her all the way. He excels sprinting, but showed a lot of versatility.
