Came back as a 3-year-old to win the Hutcheson (G2) at Gulfstream Park on February 20, earning a career-best 99 Beyer, followed by a win in the Swale Stakes (G2) on March 20. Won't go to the Derby as they plan to keep him short. Trainer Rick Dutrow Jr. said, "He'll stay at one turn. The plan is the Withers, the seven-eighths race on Belmont Stakes Day and the one at Saratoga. That would be an unbelievable year."
