The sprint division isn't exactly strong right now. Even with the division loaded Talent Search was serious. The best part is him debuting at Tampa for 12k, almost comical

He may be the best which is scary considering he is not much more than an accomplished $75000 claimer. The older horse divisions are as bad as they have ever been. The sprinters are awful, the older 'handicap' horses are pathetic and the turf horses are a joke. The best fallout from the drop of the bloodstock market is that maybe with stud fees dropping, the value of stallion prospects will decline which may keep some better horses in training longer. Commentator wins the Mass Cap in a virtual walkover, Wandering Boy is suddenly considered good, Fairbanks wins the Hawthorn Gold Cup at 4/5, California racing....These are not good signs. Curlin vs Big Brown will take away from the fact that many of the BC races are pathetic. Outside of the Distaff what other division has a good group of horses?
