Also a listed winner going six furlongs last term, the $130,000 Keeneland September buyback turned $265,000 OBS March breezer makes his first start since the G1 NHK Mile Cup last May in which he bombed the start, but courageously ran on from the tail to finish seventh, beaten under four lengths (video, SC 13).

Well beaten behind the classy Perriere (Jpn) (Henny Hughes) in the Listed Hyacinth S. this past February, the $180,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling and $1.1-million OBSMAR pinhook exits a victory in a six-furlong Chukyo allowance July 15 (video, SC 16).
