check out the work yesterday.... 5F in 56.80

also note that price horses do well in the sprint too.

Keep an eye on Black Seventeen... Big performance at Belmont and bullet work on the Pro-Ride...

Grand Couturier generally prefers softer going than he'll get at SA. Vineyard Haven is 100-1 to even start.

The one thing I like about Fatal Bullet is he has constantly run faster as the season progressed, and while his last race was impressive there may still be an upside to him.

I know he's been working out real well.. but the fact that he's raced once in a year puts him up against it in this spot.
and I doubt you get a price on him anyway. If anything, he'll probably be an underlay.

??? you think midnight lute would be a price under any circumstance? ???

I'm not playing him, but he does work like a monster. And Go back and look at what Gilded Time did off a year lay off in the sprint.

i think "for him" it will be a price.
Street Boss will be bet heavily as well as Fabolous Strike and even Fatal Bullet, you should get 3-1 or 7-2 on Midnight Lute, and IMO thats a good price.

i understand your point but that still wouldnt make him a "price horse". To me, im thinking double digits when i think of "price horse" especially in the BC. I dont see this one being anywhere close to that.

I think Midnight Lute is an awful bet in the BC Sprint, can he win? Obcourse if he is right, but as I mentioned in another thread awhile back when he went on the shelf in the spring, beware...

I'll be tossing all horses on the synthetic who haven't won on synthetic or haven't had a bullet work on synthetic. If they beat me so be it. Take a look at the graded stakes this meet at OSA, that seems to be the ticket.
