probably the most hyped maiden this year outside of Bind.. kinda disappointed with his next start, but since he has quitely put together a nice year. 5 for 8, grade 2 winner. horse won the INdiana derby inn about 5 strides.

That was a very, very impressive race today. I think he was hyped because we saw the same ability in his maiden race. Here is a late 3yo, just starting to figure it out. He ran very green in a couple of his races this year. He is huge and I think his potential is limitless-for next year. I am very excited about that possibility.

I also thought that he looked great today. And won going away, beating a classic winner.
