Very impressive juvenile grey colt. See his 7 furlongs performance at:

Going 1-mile will be another story but anyway this horse looks quite
impressive right now.

Kingston Hill arrived fourth in the 2014 Arc de Triomphe (G1) in
a valiant good effort while racing second a good part of the time.

Alas the Japanese champion Gold Ship arrived in 14th place.
Hmmm, overcoming such a wall of horses is not easy.

BLAZING CHARCOAL (gr/ro c 2012) http://www.pedigreequery.com/blazing+charcoal

Very interesting to see that the tail male-lineage of Bold Reasoning
(sire of Seattle Slew) is still being kept alive via a Seattle Slew-free
strain. This is quite unique for the Bold Reasoning influence practically
owes all its existence to Seattle Slew. If you take him aside you wouldn't
find practically any Bold Reasoning at all in international breeding.
Is the non-Seattle Slew Bold Reasoning influence slowly fading away?

There is a promising 2-year-old gray colt that
seems like a very auspicious one.
His name is SILVER RIDE (gr/ro colt 2012)
http://www.pedigreequery.com/silver+ride

And by the way, note that he has a 2014 grey
half-brother by Tapit and a 2013 grey half-sister by Tapit.
