What we do know is the breeding. Alec N. is by Advertise, a fast, precocious sire who has made a strong start to his career as a stallion, regularly producing sharp, early-developing youngsters who tend to hit the ground running as two-year-olds. The mother's side brings in Mayson, another speed influence — a former sprinter who has carried that quickness into his offspring as a sire. Put the two together and you have a horse bred, on paper at least, to be quick and ready to race young.
Whether the reality matches the blueprint, we are all about to find out at the same time.
