He has been a very "good horse in his prime and is always difficult to beat. Pads Time and Pride of Judea have been impressive in their starts at. Fonner Park this year and must be considered. Pads Time won his first start, but was unable to do better than fourth going over five and one-half furlongs in his next- out.
