Go Smarty Go?

Was 20-1 ML for his debut, bet down like he was a good thing (for a guy who is notoriously bad with firsters), and ran even bettter than that. Covered up early, then swung out for running room and responded to win for fun in a ridiculous 1:20 3/5. He's a half to Higher World, who won a G2 at Woodbine at 2 and I think tried the BC Juvy Fillies after that, so there's some dirt precedence in there as well.

Speaking of Woodbine, Not Bourbon was very impressive this Saturday in his first race back after having a blocked throat in the Wales race Harlem Rocker won in the Can triple crown series of races. I would say he will be one to watch when they decide to ship him to an American track. One to tab for later, this horse can be a serious polytrack sprinter.

He certainly accelerated in the race. That race was the fastest by far of the 5 7F races that day at WO; however, the qtr of that race was significantly slower than that of the others.

I was very impressed with him, it was a small field but the time was very fast and he did it basically on his own courage. I'm not saying he is a grade 1 winner by any means yet, however on polytracks he seems to have an affinity for that surface. He could be very dangerous in atleast Gr.2 sprinting company, to me this is a very good horse with the potential to go onto better things.
