"I think he's matured physically," Holthus said. "He was kind of an immature colt when we first started racing him. It seems like around the first of December, he's just turned into a man. He really developed. He's a beautiful animal now. And he's probably 75 to 100 pounds heavier than he was the first of December.

Holthus will also send out Red Raymond, who was second behind Lawyer Ron in the Rebel Stakes on March 18.
