Kopitar (8.8) wowed me in the Keeneland Paddock before his debut on the Polytrack. He won professionally 15 minutes later paying $29.00.

Kopitar is by Military out of a Quest For Fame (over $1.8 million in earnings, won 1990 Epsom Derby) unraced mare named Vindicate. Vindicate's brother is Frankly Perfect, who earned over $1.2 million on the grass. The bred-for-grass gelding looks to make it a perfect 3-for-3 on Saturday in his first stakes try.
