Trainer:Steve Asmussen Jockey:Ramon Dominguez Foaling Date: 5-12-2006 Pedigree: Speightstown - Nothing Special by Tejabo Dosage Profile: 9-1-4-2-0 Dosage Index/CD: 3.00 1.06 2008 Record: 3 Starts: 2 - 1 - 0, $83,465 Best Beyer Figure: 93 Note: New York-bred had yet to race anywhere but NYRA tracks, but only has one loss in his first start where he was third and his 4 wins so far have been by wide margins. Stayed in NY-bred company last year where he won a maiden race and the Damon Runyon Stakes. This year he went in unrestricted races and won the Count Fleet and Whirlaway Stakes at Aqueduct against easy fields. Went in the Gotham next against much better horses and was a dismal 8th beaten 28 lengths.
