Illini Nation
This 3 year-old colt by Hennessy out of Chart Topper bought $150,000 last year at the Fasig Tipton 2 year old training sale in March. He worked out a good 10.2 for that sale. The workouts are excellent as already noted and in addition to the 35.0 he worked 5F in 1:01.4. My sense is that he can run....
The field he is facing is not much with the 5 horse the only one who has run that might challenge him. Would not expect 3-1 but hopefully 3-2. The only hesitation i have is if Rosie gets caught on him like she did on Amazing a similar first time starter that she got caught on the rail even though he was much the best a few weeks ago.... My sense is that he will go straight to the lead and from what i hear Rosie is better on the front end...
Straight exacta 3/5 and light exacta 5/3. Win bet on #3 if odds are above 3/2....
Best of luck,
PSH
