Speed & Velocity

With a Recent Speed Figure of 105, this runner is currently performing at a high-elite level. This figure was most recently validated in the Belmont Stakes .

Class & Competition

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

Pedigree Ceiling

The OPI Pedigree Index of 9.5 suggests this horse has the genetic foundation for Classic distances (1 1/4 miles).

Handicapper's Rationale

"The Kentucky Derby winner skipped Baltimore under Cherie DeVaux's blueprint to rest specifically for the classic finale. Boasts a field-high 105 Recent Speed Figure and retains Jose Ortiz. His tactical tracking flexibility will be lethal over the 10-furlong Saratoga oval."
