Switched to trainer Sean McCarthy, Hopper made his second start on dirt running seven furlongs at Santa Anita, and he won impressively by 2 ¼ lengths.
The colt next contested the Grade 3 Affirmed Stakes at Santa Anita on June 11, and took the lead from the outset under Abel Cedillo. He was never threatened and won the 1 1/16-mile Affirmed by 5 ¼ lengths over stablemate and favorite High Connection.
Hopper is out of the millionaire globetrotting mare Irridescence, a champion in her native South Africa.
