Analysis: His first start against stakes company and around two turns wasn’t too bad. He’ll need to improve to stay ranked this high, but he certainly has a right to do just that. The longer distances might be my only worry with him, but his breeding should allow for him to be ok going further. After watching the rest of this crop he certainly is intriguing, especially if he improves.
