Grass sprints are a new thing in NY so NY based public handicappers have been at a bit of a loss where they are concerned. because I also follow mid Atlantic racing regularly (where turf sprinting has been popular for many years) I feel I did pretty well over the last 2 seasons at the Spa.
The grass sprint "division" is very broad but very shallow so horse go from claiming to stakes all the time and at Saratoga, alot of the "class handicappers" could simply not see how Lake and Klesaris could come from Laurel or Delaware with horse last in for $35k and beat NY based allowance stock.
Linda had alot of grass bred sprinters and as soon as they started running them, she started entering. her horses are VERY well gate schooled and the break is all important in turf sprints, esp at 5 1/2, where the turns come up fast.
