All this Dennis of Cork and Anak Nakal stuff I just don't get.

They ran a ton of 2yo races that day at Churchill - and the filly sprinter American County flat out stole the show from the 2yo races that day.

She ran six furlongs in 1:08 2/5ths and a few races later Dennis Of Cork won his debut in 1:22 2/5ths - basically, AC running a raw Beyer figure 17 points faster than DofC.

There were more than a few horses who earned themselves A LOT of hype on that card - for running races that make themselves look like slowpokes by comparison with American County's race that day.

There's always way too much hype for the " they won at Churchill " horses. However, it's a better year than most to be unproven and on the cusp of being slow. I'm not so sure about Anak Nakal but I know someone that's very high on him. We'll see.

I'm confused by Check it Twice. His races prior to his last were OK but nothing special and considering what we've seen from Coal Play in his last two I'm really not sure what to make of the race. Maybe Check It Twice exists in a bubble, but to me there is more contrary evidence to him than positive. However, I agree with you that Pletcher rates to move him up.....but for how long? However, at least he has one possibly fast race, which is more than you can say for most 3YOs getting hype these days.

From watching his three races, he makes Great Point look like a fine talent...and Andromeda's Hero look like a superstar.

If he can only toss a figure in the Mid 80's with a great trip - and is getting a lot of hype for it - I'll pass.

Yes

Only one horse will win - lots of future tickets will be torn. And it still is a comical error to not include a horse in the field who could easily take more money than half of the horses in the lineup.

I know - but he was loose in a route that day - and outsprinted in his two GP duds.

The number that day at CRC really was solid - there were a lot of routes.
