Running Style: Presser / Stalker

Talk To Me Jimmy continues to build his résumé through determination and steady improvement. His victory in the Withers Stakes may not have produced the flashiest raw speed figure, but visually it was a performance built on grit and sustained effort. He proved willing to fight through the lane and maintain momentum when challenged — a quality that often translates well as distances stretch out.

Through just three career starts, he has progressed each time, suggesting a colt still climbing the development curve. While he may currently sit a notch below the top tier on numbers alone, his trajectory keeps him firmly in the conversation.

Why He’s Ranked #9

• Graded stakes winner with improving form
• Demonstrated fight and finishing determination
• Trending forward with each start
• Durable profile suited for longer distances

Concern
