The Sprint
 
Can Bordonaro run them off their feet today? Or will the speed horses set it up for closers like Siren Lure and Nightmare Affair?

sumitas 11-04-2006 01:06 PM

take HH and play some long shots underneath.

IrishofNDMan 11-04-2006 01:08 PM

Too Much Bling!!!!!

Balletto 11-04-2006 01:08 PM

I have Malibu Mint over Henny Hughes and Nightmare Affair. I think there's a lot of cheap speed in there and in my eyes, these are the class.

With my results so far today... bank on Henny Hughes to win!

DerbyCat 11-04-2006 01:10 PM

I know that longshots have a history of winning this race so I'm trying to find a horse to beat HH... Thor's Echo? Pomeroy? I'm having a tough time trying to find one that beats Henny... any help or advice?

Otherwise, I'll probably do a HH/TE,P exacta

Henny H/Too Much Bling

IrishofNDMan 11-04-2006 01:15 PM

dount count Too Much Bling out, I think he will run a huge race!

Danzig 11-04-2006 01:15 PM

pomeroy is a legit choice here. altho i would like to see malibu pull it off, i don't like the post.
maybe play too much bling underneath. garret knows how to finish in the money so far today.

Longshots win when the 'name' horses are all front-running speed and kill each other off; then a 7-8f sort like Dancing Spree runs past them all to pay boxcars.

Balletto 11-04-2006 01:18 PM

I sort of like Pomeroy as well. Wouldnt it be something though if Lewis Michael pulled it off? It would have to be the only time a mare has produced two Breeders' Cup winners. Justenuffheart would be a shoo-in for Broodmare of the Year. Its unlikely, but it would be amazing.

Danzig 11-04-2006 01:19 PM

also, i would DEFINITELY play on war front. a good horse, his sire has been one of the best at producing bc winners, and he's trained by the giant killer. war front has had some good races this year, do not ignore him...

Downthestretch55 11-04-2006 01:20 PM

I'm also doing a w-p-s on War Front...watch out!

good thinking and good luck

Balletto 11-04-2006 01:20 PM

Siren Lure is the one who makes me nervous.

SIngled HH on my 'cheap/favorites' Pick 6 ticket ($4) but picked against him in PH with closer Siren Lure.

I love the way that War Front looks and carries himself. I think he is a nice, ****y colt with a great shot today as well.
