Last Race: Churchill Downs: Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes on 11/28/15, finished 1st
Analysis: Passed his first “non-turf” test with flying colors winning the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes, BUT that was over a sloppy track so there is still a little doubt. However, he’s as talented as any colt in this crop. Entered in the Risen Star Stakes as his first prep race this weekend so we’ll get to see him again soon!
