He broke his maiden on the Saratoga turf by 11 lenghts or so. Has had issues since. IEAH bought a majority interest in the horse. Dutrow has said that this horse would have undoubtedly won the Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf if healthy enough to run.

Today was his 2nd career start, first over dirt. He broke sharp and was tracking a quick pace while in hand. Going 1 mile, the 1st quarter was run in 22.4, half in 45.1. That was about the time Kent D. started looking around for competition, knowing he had the pace setter whenever he decided to go. Without being asked, the horse drew off through three quarters in 109.4 and finished up full of run in 135.3 winning by 12 3/4. Talking about it doesn’t do it justice though. I dare say this was as impressive as Curlin was in Dubai, that is how easy this horse looked to be moving.

Here is what I like …

Only two career starts, tons of room for improvement and has tons of talent

Has rateable speed. While the fractions were quick here, he wasn’t head strong.

Dutrow is training

Has been two turns, albeit on turf

Not to like …

First start at 3, lacks of experience

Has problems … his feet are a big issue, which is what kept him out of training. At this point, he can’t miss time.

He is now being pointed to the Bluegrass at Keeneland, hoping the synthetic surface helps keep his feet sound.

Do tell, do tell. What did you see about him?

I wonder if that’s who Mike is taking then? Obviously I need to give J Be K more consideration.
