    G.O.T. REPORT

    Fairly average speed from the break.
    May be somewhat lacking in natural speed.
    This colt seems to really move when you ask.
    We won't know for a while, but his legs may be good for the whole distance.
    This colt appears to be pretty consistent.
    This colt might show some improvement over jumps.
    Likes to get the lead early. A definite sprinter.
    Runs alertly with the others during practice. Seems to be a good sign.
