After the Met Milie, I saw him as a legitimate top horse and not just a speedball with unusual stamina.
It would have been nice to see him race a full career.
Legit physically, and he's son of aging breeding star Tapit. Every foal is like playing the lottery, but he may do fine.

How incredibly rare to possess his speed, yet also the temperament to concede a lead. That combination makes him the rarest of thoroughbreds.
