We thought he was the horse with the best stallion potential in the sale. He was pretty cheap for a Storm Cat out of that kind of mare.

He's just a fast, fast horse. I know he's a New York-bred, but he's a well-bred New York-bred. He does everything right. He's got a real high cruising speed.

I honestly don't know if he's the same caliber as some of the best 3-year-olds down here. But if he's not, hopefully we can make some money with him in some of the Grade 2's or 3's later on.

Pitchers are generally ahead of hitters early in the season. She is pretty good at changing speeds but I thought we did a nice job of making adjustments when we needed to.

The pedigree says he should handle the distance, and he trains like it, too.

Let's just hope we can keep following.
