Last Race: Grade 2 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland, Finished 5th
Analysis: His total no-show in the Blue Grass has me scratching my head. Coming into that weekend, he definitely looked to be the up-and-coming horse that was improving with each race, but his effort at Keeneland was a total disaster. He will have to rebound in a huge way.
