I agree the horse looks to be a ton out there, but sometimes what you see is not what you get at the Mountain.

Beattie said he "just wanted to sharpen the pencil" ---- he plans to take on the big boys next---and, I doubt the betting public will be as dismissive about his figures as most people would think.

I realize I now have 2/3rds of the post in this thread.....

I looked at the Thoro-Graph sheets in their "Red Board Room" ---- They have Fabulous Strike running a Ghostzapper like Negative 6 in his last race.

He has won a pair of mild stakes at Belmont Park, running 6 furlongs in 1:08.64 last time there, and earning his first of what is certainly now four negative sheet numbers.

The Northern California based Humana Distaff winner Hystericalady ran open lengths faster than the boys in the Grade 2 CD Cap today. The East's best sprinter...I assume Silver Wagon....is more of a seven furlong/one-turn miler horse.

Being the best horse in the East Coast at six furlongs, is a lot like being the prettiest girl at the fat camp.......but, it's probably safe to assume Fabulous Strike might just have that high honor now....but, I can understand why people want to see him beat something first.

East Coast sprint division is a mess though Half Ours may be returning to sprints

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I expect him to as well. I think this horse is a better sprinter than Half Ours. He's run races outside of low-level tracks that would suggest that.

[The Bid]

Hes a really nice horse. He made short work of Talent Search, whos posted multiple triple digit numbers since his comeback winning a stake and a 3x I believe. I think they will hook up on the undercard of the Preakness.

I think he would drown Half Ours at 6F.

133 equibase figure for Fabulous Strike's win Saturday night.

19 points faster than Steet Sense's Derby win, which they gave a 114, 5 points faster than Smokey Stover's 128 (which was there fastest number of the year to this point.) and 3 points faster than the 130 Bernardini ran last year (which was last years fastest equibase number)

Not to legitimize Equibase computerized figures...as they aren't exactly the most respected out there, but, it goes to show you that yet again, this horse ran a monster number on everyone's figures.

It will be fun to see what happens when he's not facing less than moderate groups, and racing outside of MNR.
