Commentary

Very smart colt who followed in Sovereignty's footsteps from last year by winning the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs and Belmont at Saratoga. Only third in the Travers at Saratoga in August but Ortiz prefers him to Magnitude and he should get a good pace to aim at.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

What the projection says

Finishes ahead of its price historically, but the delivery record alone does not predict today's finish — it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 4th of 8. Recent form is on the up.
