I loved his top and bottom breeding. I always respect the Raise A Native. I played him hard in Santa Anita Derby and he just missed. He ran a very high early Brisnet pace figure in that prep and was alive at the end. This suggested he had a chance to stay. I played him under Always Dreaming in the Pool 4 at around 600-1 but didn't play him in Kentucky. Oops. At least I smothered All Others and collected well.
