Commentary

Only started racing this season, breaking his duck in the Grade 3 Tampa Bay Derby in March. Good second in Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park next time but then missed the Triple Crown races. Fitted with blinkers when successful in Pennsylvania Derby at Parx in September. Has work to do.

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 6th of 8.
