Default War Front

I guess we all got a chance to see who the real deal was in the Vanderbilt. Afra-fraud finally met his match. Nice performance by the winner.

Anytime Allen Jerkens calls a horse one of the best hes ever trained, one has to listen. Those were his words all the way back in January, before he raced this year. Unfortunately he gets hurt, but Jerkens does a hell of a job getting him back better than ever.

BC Sprint, look out.

To me this is clearly the best 6F sprinter there is in training right now. He showed all the naysayers yesterday that he does not need the lead to win. I knew he'd get the same kind of trip that nearly worked at Gulfstream earlier in the year, but the Chief has got this horse cranked so tight right now. He would have beaten anybody yesterday.

Many will attribute his win to the fast fractions in front of him and his perfec trip, but believe me, he would have won with any trip yesterday.
And if the fractions were so perfectly fast, where the hell was Mass Media to take advantage of them?

This horse is the real deal.

I feel shameful for even admitting to using Afrashad on the pick 4 ticket with War Front...

I was going to also use him Kev, but decided WF was as worthy a single as anyone. I didnt spread as wide as I had posted on here, rather played:

$20 pick 4- War Front/Film Maker, Rich in Spirit/Relaxed Gesture/Better Talk Now, Ace

You catch Tin Man i see? hope it helped you out.

my pick 4 was War Front, afradshad/Gorella,Film,Honey/RG,Go Deputy/EC $12 for $1.

hindsight is 20/20, but WF was clearly best....I loved Gorella...RG, GO Dep i thought were the only two that had a chance in the Sword....should have gone deeper in the million....oh well.

Ya I did Kev, screwy day, started drinking beers, hanging out with some friends who lets just say arent track savvy, so I was out of my element.

Burned a lot of money on Sarah's Prospect in the Monmouth 9th, and the late double at Saratoga but the Tin Man actually made it a good day after all was said and done. Had a blast and paying for it right now. I'm so hungover I could jump through my window and not feel it.

Gander you are crazy to think he is the best sprinter in training right now. The field for the this race was OK and the track was favoring whoever got the lead turning for home. The horse came home in an extremely slow time and he was all over the track. Heck, Silver Train (who I dont like) would have passed him by on any track other than saratoga. War Front will get demolished in the BCS.
