There can be little doubt the John Sadler trainee, with Flavien Prat on his back, is one of the more amazing teams in the history of horse racing. This is simply Hall of Fame-worthy stuff every time he’s in the gate.

And as a four-year old colt, there’s a chance he could keep this going as well. He’s 6-for-6 career, and it doesn’t look like anyone is close as of now.
