It takes a pretty good imagination to translate that into me saying he would defeat Invasor going 10 furlongs.
Sorry, I see what your saying with the speed figures. At first glance, it sounded like you thought he could beat any horse at any distance.

This should be one hell of a race. I personally can't wait.

Well....I'm not exactly the sharpest when it comes to writing clarity.

Glad to be able to clear it up for you.

Cajun Beat did not win the Smile, as a three year old, he did run second to Valid Video in the Carry Back at the 2003 Summit and went on to win the BC Sprint that year.

He was allowed to walk up front. Dominguez did a great job of rating him early, and no one went with him. Why? I have no idea.

Like DrugS, I'm a big fan of Fabulous Strike, but I'm anxious to see how he does near or on a contested pace.

Should be the jewel of a fun racing day, my last gambling foray until Saratoga. Let's just hope the rain stays away. You never know in South FL.

Benny the Bull, a horse I mentioned here ran at least as good as Fabulous Strike did at CD that week, easily won a stake at PrM Saturday paying a ridiculously overlaid $10.00. He was given a Beyer of 108.

I guess his owners dont bet.

He handled the Ronny Warner horse pretty easy and seems to have replicated that big run at Churchill

He is busy calculating stride lengths of 2yos from sales workout videos.

Hmmm...the fact it is a she means not only might they be working for the same outfit, they could very well be one and the same person.
