What are the chances he makes the race? If he does, will he be higher or lower than 2:1?
It's beyond insane.

Read: All it takes to excite fans these days are a couple of open lengths wins in short fields of dubious quality from an unsound speedball with no stamina.
Just imagine Housebuster in this era of disposable "super horses"... Save the preps for the Derby; stakes racing isn't particularly interesting for the most part (on dirt). Too many stakes, too few owners that compete on such a level, and too few foals. Plus, the owners cooperate with one another vs. compete. I worked with Levy's brother-in-law at Lehman brothers. He had a great picture of Housebuster after winning the Kings Bishop |

Read: I don't need him to get exposed lest my excitement dissipates over the 39 seconds it will take him to see out the final 3 furlongs of a 10 furlong race.
When you consider the prospects of Grade 3 horses like Country Grammar & Dynamic One in the Classic (and furthermore previous winners like Volponi, Vino Rosso, Drosselmeyer, etc), you probably made a compelling argument for the suits to cut the Classic to 9 furlongs. I saw Life as Good well at GP, so the track at SPA "MAY" Have something to do with it? I don't think he wants any part of 10f's, and to be fair, Dynamic One may become Happy Saver. LOL |
