Following the Kentucky Derby, the Bob Baffert-trained son of Quality Road ran second in both the Affirmed (G3), in June, and then the Damascus earlier this month on the Breeders’ Cup undercard, beaten a nose by Flagstaff, as the 7-5 favorite in the seven-furlong sprint. Drayden Van Dyke will be aboard the colt for the first time in the mile and one-eighth main track feature.
