If you had to guess, what odds will he go off at?

Hard to say. That's a brutally tough spot he''s entered in for just 100K. There are five horses in there who are proven stakes caliber horses.

I would scratch him. Makes no sense rushing back in two weeks off such a huge debut performance. Wait for an entry level alw race here where he'll romp. Conditions are worth it in PA. They already wasted the MSW at Mountaineer for a lousy 17K purse.

Really, I'm just looking for another Fabulous Strike.

You'll be looking for a long time.

Fabulous Strike debuted at Tampa Bay Downs when I was there on-track --- he split the field.

He didn't become a sensation until he got hooked up with the alchemist at Penn National. But damn, was he tough.

I just recall him running some bang-up races at MNR before making it "big."

He did. He ran 2 HUGE races at Mountaineer as a 3yo and one as a 4yo if I recall.

If I remember right, he broke Talent Search's will pretty badly in one of those races.
