This 8-year-old is one cool horse. He ran for a claiming tag back in 2016 but he’s now won more than $1 million with wins in the Charles Town Classic (G2) and General George (G3). He likes to run late, so Hall of Fame jockey Prado will bide his time and then wait for this guy to kick in. Mom was a multiple Grade 2 winner and dad won a Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1).

Undefeated! Mexico’s Triple Crown winner has won 14 – count ‘em – 14 consecutive races, including the $300,000 Clasico del Caribe right here at Gulfstream in December.
