He was no menace in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita a year ago or in another effort over the course in the Goodwood Stakes in October, suggesting strongly that he does not act on the local synthetic ground. 莊上校 (L) 夏特 126 高美斯 (2) Lifetime : 14 (6-3-1) Turf : 1 (1-0-0) Jockey : － 2 Season : 3 (1-1-0) Non-Turf : 13 (5-3-1) GF+ : － COLONEL JOHN (USA) 4 b c E Harty (118) G K Gomez 1st Up : － Dist : 4 (1-0-0) G : － Tiznow (USA) - Sweet Damsel (USA) (Turkoman (USA)) Earnings : HK$12,624,843 Track : 6 (3-1-0) Y : － (23.0) Owner(s): WinStar Farms, LLC Trk/Dist : 1 (0-0-0) S/Hvy : － Pos Date Race Details Track Dist/Course/Going Wt.

He has been defeated only by the brilliant filly Rachel Alexandra since early June and has improved progressively with each victory. Sent to California well before race day, the son of Birdstone from Hong Kong Squall has trained strongly over the Santa Anita surface, dispelling or at least diminishing concern that the course might pose a problem. A stayer with uncanny versatility, he brings the formidable combination of tactical speed and a strong finishing kick that puts him squarely in the frame. 信雅達 (L) 施懷富 123 史文夫 (4) Lifetime : 13 (13-0-0) Turf : － Jockey : － 4 Season : 4 (4-0-0) Non-Turf : 13 (13-0-0) GF+ : － ZENYATTA (USA) 5 dk b/br m J Shirreffs (125) M E Smith 1st Up : － Dist : － G : － Street Cry (IRE) - Vertigineux (USA) (Kris S.
