116 for Thor's Echo? Forgive me for being a little skeptical. Doesn't matter anyways since the weenie connections don't want to run him with less than 6 weeks rest.

Exactly, Thor's Echo running his lifetime best by 11 points is a little hard to believe. I think these numbers are inflated.

This begs the question and I believe I'm paraphrasing Randy Moss here, but why didn't they pick a prep race 6 weeks before the BC then? It's not like he wasn't working steadily for a long time before the Ancient. This is the one horse that I think could give Henny a run for his money.

Pretty darn soft schedule this year for a gelding who's not even going to the BCS if you ask me.

This isn't college football's BCS, soft schedule ???? Think he might have some issues or maybe the connections just hate winning ? Count Fleet + Ancient Title are not exactly Flinger Lakes Cup and Great Lakes Hdcp.

Where'd you see that, Ateam? I read this morning in either DRF or Bloodstock Journal that Spawr said it was 50-50, and they would decide by Oct 23.

Latest news I got..

"Bordonaro, who earned a career high 119 Beyer Speed Figure winning Saturday's Grade 1 Ancient Title Breeders' Cup, would also have to be supplemented to start in the Sprint, and trainer Bill Spawr said earlier this week that would not be likely."

- DRF.

I guess it's not 100% he's not going, but Spawr seems like he doesn't want to wheel him back in four weeks after that big effort.
