One of my closest friends in Australia, Leon Corstens trained him to win the Caulfield Guineas going a mile last October. The Coolmore partners bought him and after winning the Oakleigh Plate going 1100 metres,about 5 and a half furlongs he went back to Ireland to get ready for Royal Ascot. He destroyed the field over there and Aidan O'Brien said he is the fastest horse that he ever had. A son of the brilliant Choisir who also went from Australia to win at Royal Ascot and was the vanguard of many other Aussie sprinters since. Look at his pedigree and you will see the amazing Danehill on the top line but closer inspection reveals the historic Star Kingdom plus the awesome blood of Vain, the fastest horse that I have ever seen with my own eyes. He should run fast should he not?
