For direct scooter... very very good, horse. Best out there now, but he is racing against the B team. The best aged horses on the shelve in winter...he is a winter sensation .. i dont want to go too far back to name many horses like him so a will go just a few yrs back. A good comparision is Golden Reciever... Great great winter horse but was always a little cut below when the big boys came out to play. And he is not as good as Goldie. Again the best out there now. It happens a lot. But please .. He has a long way to go to beat the big boys.. thats why he is racing now. Nifty will give him a shot im sure in summer...good luck to all
