He finished 2nd in his first start of 2007, but was placed first through disqualification, then he was 7th in the Robert Lewis behind Great Hunter. Came back to rally from well back to win the Santa Anita Derby at long odds. Has a beautiful dosage profile for a distance runner, but ran abysmally in the Kentucky Derby to finish 7th.
