OPI Strategic Intelligence

Speed & Velocity

With a Recent Speed Figure of 91, this runner is currently performing at a competitive level. This figure was most recently validated in the Matt Winn Stakes .

Class & Competition

Assigned a Competitive Grade of C. This metric reflects the horse's ability to maintain performance levels when facing established stakes-quality fields.

Pedigree Ceiling

The OPI Pedigree Index of 6.4 suggests this horse has the genetic foundation for Middle-distance sprints/routes.

Handicapper's Rationale

"Arrives fresh for Dallas Stewart after fading heavily to finish 11th in the Preakness Stakes. He is a proven distance winner from his Fair Grounds maiden score, but his underlying raw speed figures match up poorly against the top tier of this lineup."
