He will be getting a fast dirt track on Sunday that appears to be his preference.\u00a0 He picked up a G2 win in July in The Everything\u2019s Legal Stakes in New York.\u00a0 His last trip to the track was a disappointing run in the G1, The Foregone in New Your where he showed up over six lengths back.\u00a0 A step down in Class and a fast track could help him.<\/p>\n
