He's won his last four races and hasn't stopped improving. We've got plans for him in the works but he has to have quick ground so that's going to interrupt things a bit at this point in the year. We want to run him again as soon as we can when we find the right conditions.

I felt he didn't shape very well in his first two runs but he's promising and I like him a lot. He's a nice horse and goes well at home. He hasn't been out since June but I'll be very surprised if he doesn't win his maiden when he runs next.
