Henny Hughes is the best sprinter in the country

Bruce Headley , Art Sherman and Bob Baffert have afew quick ones in their barns. Maybe they will run into each other and if they do my money is on Headleys horse.

The field that was entered in the race yesterday and the field that showed up were two completely different stories ( always is these days ). The two other talented horses in the race besides Henny Hughes scratched and left it a lopsided and one horse affair. Getting all giddy about this race is just a tad premature. It's hardly surprising he ran a big race against this non-competition in his return. He was a very good horse last year.

But, at least he did run well and hopefully will continue to run well. The more good horses the merrier. But excuse me if I'm not ready to annoint him a champion off one race. However, considering his 2YO form, it will hardly be a shocker if he has a very big second half.

I agree that his best races will be sprinting, perhaps up to a mile, and I'm not sure what the obsession is with stretching horses out. But, he did run very well in the BC juvenile, so I guess it's not impossible. It just feels like a case where it would be nice to see him run in spots that accentuate his strength....which is sprinting.

Did somebody actually call Patrick Biancone a clown in this thread? How many Arcs did he win?
