Default Talent Search

The best sprinter in training looks to be ready for a return.

Is it possible he can come directly off the bench, run, and win the Breeders Cup? If hes 100 percent and gets in whos going to beat him

What exactly has Frankel given him while he's been away for you to declare him "the best sprinter in training?"

I believe he was transferred - right?

He supposed to run in the sprint prep at Keeneland. That should let the cat out of the bag, one way or the other.

I think the cat will be out of the bag in a big way at Keeneland. When he was running for Shuman he was crippled. There's no telling how good he will be now that they've given him the opportunity to sound up. Ill be shocked if he doesn't make a good account of himself at Keeneland, even moreso if he's not the nuts at Santa Anita

If Talent Search is the best sprinter in training, the BC should suspend the sprint indefinitely. Frankel did a bang up job with Cajun Beat in a similar scenario.

Who's better Cannon? He's ran second to Benny the Bull, Diabolical, Fabulous Strike. With a lot of issues, always laying it down to the wire. If you watch the races when he finished second to Fabulous Strike in his heightened cheating days, and his second to Benny in the Defrancis who can beat him 100pct sound. The sprint division isn't exactly strong right now. Even with the division loaded Talent Search was serious. The best part is him debuting at Tampa for 12k, almost comical
