Last Race: Oaklawn Park: Grade 3 Southwest Stakes on 2/15/16, finished 2nd

Analysis: Was pretty high on him before the Southwest, and that race just confirmed my thoughts.  He had a little bit of a troubled trip in the race as well, and perhaps moved a bit too soon.  Regardless it was a good race for him to move forward with, and shows he can make that same devastating move on the turn going two turns.  Very intriguing prospect.
