Derby Status: Uncertain
Graded Earnings: $194,500
Future Odds: 32/1
Owner: Eric Fein
Trainer: Barclay Tagg

Excusing the two poor efforts by this NY-bred would make his sheet quite strong. Had a miserable trip in the G2 Remsen, then likely did not care for the slop or the wicked pace in the G2 Hutcheson. Ran very well in two TAM races, earning a 93 BSF for G3 Tampa Bay Derby score. Runs this Saturday in G1 Blue Grass, though not sure what that will say with it being run on the synthetic. Another one who has better distance breeding than one would think, with Hook and Ladder getting off to a good start as a sire across the board and Go for Gin providing decent stamina influence in limited shots as a damsire. Half-brother Logic Way had no trouble going long, albeit on turf. Future odds (32/1) seem about square, and will re-evaluate after Blue Grass.
