Talent Search

[The Indomitable DrugS]

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

He may be the best which is scary considering he is not much more than an accomplished $75000 claimer. The older horse divisions are as bad as they have ever been. The sprinters are awful, the older 'handicap' horses are pathetic and the turf horses are a joke. The best fallout from the drop of the bloodstock market is that maybe with stud fees dropping, the value of stallion prospects will decline which may keep some better horses in training longer. Commentator wins the Mass Cap in a virtual walkover, Wandering Boy is suddenly considered good, Fairbanks wins the Hawthorn Gold Cup at 4/5, California racing....These are not good signs. Curlin vs Big Brown will take away from the fact that many of the BC races are pathetic. Outside of the Distaff what other division has a good group of horses?

that's what i'm hoping for, and what i've been waiting for.

Personally of all the sprints yesterday I was most impressed by Fatal Bullet in the K Cup Sprint.

Watch out for him he's a freakishly fast poly sprinter...
