hindsight is 20/20, but WF was clearly best....I loved Gorella...RG, GO Dep i thought were the only two that had a chance in the Sword....should have gone deeper in the million....oh well.

Gander you are crazy to think he is the best sprinter in training right now. The field for the this race was OK and the track was favoring whoever got the lead turning for home. The horse came home in an extremely slow time and he was all over the track. Heck, Silver Train (who I dont like) would have passed him by on any track other than saratoga. War Front will get demolished in the BCS.

Demolished??!!
By who exactly? Name one horse right now who is better than War Front going 6F?

My only concern is Jerkens wanting to rush this horse along. I read today he is coming back with him in 3 weeks in the Forego at 7F. My thinking is too much too soon for a horse who was layed up 5 months with a pretty serious injury. But what the heck do I know? People thoght he would bounce yesterday and they were wrong.

Tim,
I agree, might be too much too soon. H Allen said he was nursing a hoof problem and credited his stable help for keeping this one sound enough to run.
I hope he came out of the race ok.

Allen has grade one fever right now, a week after winning the Test Stakes, which I wont say was a "lucky win" but lets face it, the race fell apart and only 2 out of 13 horses did any real running- Swap Fliparoo and Original Spin, so it wasnt one of the better grade 1 wins from him. He knows hes got the talent in War Front, just wish he would take his time with him and maybe point towards a littel more out.

Too Much Bling, Henny Hughes, Siren Lure, Songster and Sun King if he goes in the Sprint. All of these horses would crush War Front.

I definitely disagree. He's right up there right now. I was there for his race against Silver Train and it was enormous. He simply bounced off it and still won with ease. He'll be right there if stays in form.

Disagree all you want. Only time will tell.

Henny Hughes maybe, but at 6F- Sun King simply no way. Hes not that great a horse to overcome the lengths he would spot horses like Henny and War Front. I dont think Songster or Too Much Bling are quite ready for the older horses yet. Siren Lure is a nice horse but hasnt exactly been beating the best sprinters in the country and I think he may be better on turf.

Thing to remember that is the BC Sprint you are going to get a very very fast pace. Sun King will get a perfect trip and a perfect pace to close into. I can see Sun King doing the same thing as Silver Train did last year.
