This good looking colt first caught my attention in March when in the middle of his debut series. He simply stood out on the race track. Classy impression. In his first race he broke in a tangle and closed some ground in a race that was won by daylight. Since that productive debut race he has done nothing to dampen my hopes that he could be a nice horse. Today he strolled around the cushion with ease. I had his final three furlongs in 35.80. Magnificent appearance in the flesh and coat.

Scintillating drill over the Hollywood green. Was given a target in the form of Waive Liability to run down. Hitting on a dime and ready to explode if asked in the stretch. Chewed up Waive at the eighth pole and cruised clear with serious style. Jones keeping this talented runner at the top of his game. Fun drill to watch.

Honorable mention: BLIND LUCK - Hollendorfer not giving this girl any days off. Training hard with Bejarano in the saddle. 23.60, 47.00, 59.80, out 1:12.00. No signs of slow down.

Excited for the start of Monmouth. Love what they are trying to do. If you call yourself a horseplayer, Monmouth is a meet that has to be followed closely. If things go as planned, the second half of the meet will prove to offer incredible gambling opportunities.
