This will be a monster sprinter. I hope the connections dont send him long and get derby hopes in thier eyes. Same goes with Pegasus Wind

What leads you to believe he'll be a "monster sprinter"?

I just don't see it.

He is a young horse and right now and is on the improve. His comeback race after the BC was good in the fact he learned to rate a bit before unleashing. Before he would jet and and barely hang on. I look forward to see him in the kings bishop if the connections eye it.

His family does suggest he might go longer. His 11 starts as a 2 year old is a black mark against his connections.

I'm stunned that he is still running fairly well. Tough horse.

Thanks for posting this...

I love Teuflesberg, but I don't like him in this spot. I haven't really looked at the PP's extensively, but at first glance, I like Tony Terrific. What are your thoughts?

WOW! That is a really salty field right there. Hard Spun tops several people's Derby Trail lists -- Izzie's Halo has run big. Teuflesburg is a proven performer, and Makeithapencaptain could still be any kind after the race at Hawthorne.

I'd take the 1 in here after seeing the kind of show he put on this Fall at Hawthorne.
