There was a colt paddock schooling right before KNS race today, and boy, he has to be here for the Lane's End, VERY impressive looking, wish I knew who he was ... thin face stripe? Very dark bay/brown? Square, muscular?

That Lane's End looks like a pretty nice turf race.

Jack Spratt could hit the board here. I have no idea what his Ml (i think the ml is up somewhere already?)
His FOY is going to add value with that ugly running line, but 9 lengths off a 45(from the gate @ GP Mile!) is a nice workout, and he was still 9 lengths off at the stretch. Only one work since but at least it is recent and solid. Came home the last 4 furlongs in less than 48 in the Dania.

Hold me back is kind of an unknown horse that you can't really toss with confidence.

West Side and Bittel have to be the top choices.

I knew that he was schooling in the paddock during the first 3 races that same day so I assumed it was him. He is impressive to look at. Guess it might not have been.

You mean you don't remember Hard Spun winning this race? I certainly collected money for him running second in the Derby.

Pics can look very different, too - I'll go see him in person. If you knew he was schooling, that had to be him, I didn't see any others around.

And if that was him, he was very impressive looking - maybe 1 race away?

West Side Bernie should cruise. Had no chance as speed ran 1-2 around the track in the Holy Bull, and speed ran 1-2-3 around the track in the BC Juvenile yet he was making up ground. Turfway never seems to favor the speed types.

I don't really get the love affair here with West Side Bernie. I could see him run fourth almost as easily as I can see him run winning.

I agree. He could certainly win, but I don't see him as a lock. You can't ignore that the track is like a dust storm with all the kickback and Prado is aboard WSB. He might eat a ton of carpet fiber.
