  • MarkRodriquez · I really like the way he breezed in the Sanford. I think he looks even more impressive than Uncle Mo at this time last year. He rated nicely down the backstretch and coasted home. Looks like he can go a distance. The Racing Form had a nice pic of him crossing the street on the way to the track. This youngster looks professional. Just hope Pletcher doesn't mess him up like he's done to his other stars. · 311 days ago ·
