Analysis: Starting to look like the real deal after some struggles early on in his career. Backed up his Springboard Mile slop victory with another impressive win in the Smarty Jones Stakes. His pedigree is the only big question mark so far…does he want to go 10 furlongs? He’ll take his first steps towards proving he can go longer this weekend in the Southwest Stakes.
