Analysis: He certainly proved his worth with an impressive win over a nice field in the Sam F Davis Stakes at Tampa Bay. His final time was also a track record, and he ran the fastest speed figure of his career. All signs seem to be pointing in the right direction for this horse, and it was an easy decision to keep him number one for yet another week.
