on the track
Witness was a multiple stakes winning, multiple stakes placed multi-millionaire. He was voted the Eclipse 3 Year Old Colt for 2009 thanks to his many wins. Although he appeared to specialize in turf sprints based on speed records alone, he actually performed equally well over both surfaces and nearly every distance. He even won two stakes races over hurdles at the end of his career! He was truly a jack of all trades. He ran strongly at 2, had his best year at 3, and then began to fade at 4. He had wins over a variety of distances, from sprints up to 11.5f on turf, and up to 18f over hurdles. He ran against (and beat each more than once) many now-famous stallions, so the talent is definitely there. These rivals include: Candidate, Foolhardy, What's Your Point, and Ring of Fire.
