After he ran in the Haskell, I remember visiting Del Mar's backstretch to take a look at him about two weeks before he was confirmed to run in the Travers. He looked like hell, on the thinner side, and just dull. I was surprised they ran him looking like that - and that he held onto finish second place. That major break after the Travers really did him well, as he looked like a completely different horse going into the Classic.

Understandable, just thought he looked good coming back. I think he's a solid horse.
