Not without drugs, I won't be. I'm assuming it's had everything in the States? The draw is usually a key issue in the sprint, and I've not had chance to really look at that yet.

A few decent sprinters in there, won't be easy against horses used to the conditions.

Without drugs?

Please, our sprinters go over there and win that joke of a race every year. Look at the last five winners of the race...

* '08 Benny the Bull over Idiot Proof

* '07 The moderate Kelly's Landing over the moderate Friendly Island

* '06 The moderate Proud Tower Too over the moderate Thor's Echo

* '05 the moderate Saratoga County won

* '04 the moderate Our New Recruit over the moderate Alke

I see they named Prado on Indian Blessing ... about the last big name rider you ever want to see named on speed. Still shouldn't matter. As long as they don't install a synthetic surface like Santa Anita has in the next two days .. she will win with disdainful ease.

Such insane amounts of money being given away... and when Meydan opens, it could be more!

I agree with you on everything else but do you actually have a list of what jockeys should be on speed in straightaway sprint races? If so, I'm very impressed.
