Has two lackluster starts this year with a 5th in the Sam F. Davis at Tampa Bay Downs and 4th by 8 1/2 lengths in the Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream. Came back in the Illinois Derby and ran 3rd the whole way around, beaten 4 3/4 lengths by Recapturetheglory. Seems to like chasing more than winning? Ran an even race to finish 14th in the Kentucky Derby.
