TP: Kentucky Cup Classic

[SuffolkGirl]

I'd love to see Street Sense win this race but I think Hard Spun is going to win. This is not Nafzger's target so SS doesn't need to be all out to win. I think the order will be:

Hard Spun by a rapidly closing length
Street Sense
Stream Cat
Muqbil
Cat Shaker

Looking forward to this weekend's races!

Stream Cat/Hard Spun/Street Sense

The complete opposite of what I would expect were it on dirt.

yeah, but I'll also put a ticket together with Muqbil in 3rd position and hope he gets there, that should pay more.

Here is the deal on added money:
The base purse for the KC Classic is $350,000, with $150,000 of that for horses eligible to the Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund. Of the five starters, only Hard Spun, a Pennsylvania-bred, is ineligible to the KTDF. However, another $150,000 is being offered to the winner if he is a Grade 1 winner in 2006-07. Only Street Sense and Hard Spun are eligible for the bonus.

Damn, heard this morning that they are not offering a show bet on the race. Thought the bridge jumpers could have a hayday on this one...
