Evolution Rocks, onto the Breeders Cup?
Claimed for 6,000 American dollars on June 16th at Monmouth (he ran a 45 Beyer that day) went on to win his next start for Jorge "The Legend" Navarro on July 12th. He than won on Aug 17th under a triple hammerlock by 13 lengths recording a 103 Beyer fig.
Today, he ran at Parx racing, with his "new" trainer A-Mart, Alex Martinez and essentially won by the length of the stretch powering away like a Grade 1 sprinting star, reaching out at the wire like a demon.
A year ago yesterday, he was toiling at Fort Erie, finishing 9th in a 4k claimer recording a 36 Beyer figure. What a difference a year can make, huh?
Now, i dont know about BC eligibility, he's probably not eligible, but he is eligible for the next Grade 1 sprint somewhere in the country, stay tuned, be interesting to see where this guy shows up next.

Only fair to point out he did lose his last race, though I personally had it as his best yet since the claim numbers wise.

The chart says he won by 5 & 3/4 lengths.. that's a mighty short stretch they have there at Parx

Exactly! 
Be interesting to see if this horse can go on to bigger and better. He certainly looked fantastic visually.

Had him in a Trifecta as he was a no brainer. Unfortunately the other two didn't get their invitation to the party. What a day at PRX - pu.

Perfect! Hopefully the national network can do a piece on Navarro and his "paper trainer" and we can get to know a little about America's greatest racehorse trainer.

Funny how ER will be racing at Parx (of all places!) instead of at Santa Anita for the BC.

"Rocker" scheduled to race at Calder in the 8th race, aptly named the "Thrillin Discovery Handicap"

Horse destroyed a race at GP yesterday, earned a 117 TFUS speed fig in the romp. He finally ran in a race where the pace wasn't slow, and it didn't bother him a bit, ran his fastest race ever.

Will you shed a tear at Navarro's HOF induction speech this year?
You can make the argument that this is the greatest training job in the history of the game.
