Bred in Kentucky
16.3 hands. He reportedly has a sore ankle but no chip or fracture. He has been relaxing at his trainer’s farm since his last breeze on 11/07/2020 at Churchill Downs.

Very kind boy with a personality as big as he is! Gorgeous and well built, he looks like a very nice prospect.

He’s respectful to those who work with him. He is quiet in the stall, and when out with others at night he is quiet and settles down to graze quickly after stretching his legs.
