Very smart; second to Union Rags in Grade 1 Champagne Stakes at Belmont but flopped in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile; won first two starts of 2012 at Aqueduct, the Listed Count Fleet Stakes and the Grade 3 Withers Stakes, before second in the Grade 1 Wood Memorial at same venue; never in contention in the Kentucky Derby, but then won the Grade 2 Jim Dandy and Grade 1 Travers (dead-heated in latter), both at Saratoga; lost his way afterwards, including tried in Dubai, but back to best when taking the 2013 Grade 1 Woodward Stakes, again showing a liking for Saratoga, albeit was helped by an easy lead with blinkers on; below form since, including tried on turf at Gulfstream Park in the Grade 2 Mac Diarmida Stakes in February 2014; stays 1m2f; acts on fast and sloppy dirt.
