Versatile Lewis Michael is a multiple Graded stakes winner in his own right, but also a full brother to the 2006 Eclipse Award-winning Champion Juvenile Filly, Dreaming of Anna. Dreaming of Anna won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies-G1 in her championship year, and has continued to win Graded stakes at 3 and 4. Lewis Michael earned his own Triple Crown of versatility with a stakes win on turf at 2, a dirt winner and multiple Graded-placed at 3 on dirt, and multiple Grade 2 winner on synthetic surfaces (at Arlington and Del Mar).

Besides his proven record on any surface, Lewis Michael has shown ability over a range of distances as well. Breaking his maiden at a mile and a sixteenth at Arlington as a 2-year-old, he won the Washington Park Handicap (G2) last year at a mile and three-sixteenths (just shy of the American classic distance of a mile and a quarter), and scored his latest victory in the Pat O'Brien Handicap (G2) dropping back to 7 furlongs. This horse seems to be able to do anything, anywhere, with tactical speed that lets him get the job done on demand.
