Verdict

There's an awful lot to like about WHISTLEJACKET on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Indeed, he was a costly purchase and is certainly bred to make a 2-y-o being a brother to Little Big Bear, who landed the Phoenix Stakes for these connections during his juvenile campaign. Devine Genius is also appealing and he is nominated as the main danger, with Spartan Soldier and Cowardofthecounty others to monitor closely in the betting.
