Sure seemed to me like if he wanted it, it would have been no problem.

I would think he'd run in the Summit of Speed at Calder.


Speaking of emoticon's....perhaps now Fabulous Strike will finally crack Mike Watchmaker's top 10 sprinter list

Not a great year for the Watchmaker Watch---as he had Rags To Riches only at #6 after her remarkable Grade 1 win at Santa Anita where she was hung six wide around both turns....and the 3yo filly division was awfully lacking.

Beattie, based primarily at Penn National, said he most likely will run Fabulous Strike next in the Grade 2, $500,000 Smile Sprint Stakes on the July 7 Summit of Speed program at Calder in Florida.

it's remarkable but thats how he runs with his head up, just gliding along.
He's the Michael Johnson of the horse world with that style.

The only other horse that was a good horse I remember who ran like that was the Buddy Delp trained Sunny Sunrise.

That Ramon's style to win by just enough and to save some energy for the next race. Hard to believe one of the top sprinters in the country is stabled at Penn National.

Yeah Mike...seemed to me watching FS prick his ears, it looked like he was looking for someone to run with him. It looked like he was just out for a jog the way he was doing it so easy.

And the other best sprinter is based at Golden Gate Fields. It would not be a shock to see the two top sprinters hook up in the Smile. I know that's where Smokey is headed, and we know Gilchrist likes the event as hes been well represented the last three years. It looked like Smokey was tons the best in this division, and then suddenly this horse strikes into contention. Amazing race, but there was no foes like Smokey in that race.
