Interesting that you guys both went with Speightstown and Midnight Lute in the Sprint.

Personally I'd lean more toward Kona Gold and Housebuster.

But at 6f perhaps Housebuster would be overbet.

I actually think I would probably include Discreet Cat in the mile.

That race is loaded, but while Spectacular Bid, Ghostzapper, and Holy Bull might all be more likely than Discreet Cat, he was fast as hell when on his game.

He was on his game like 3 times..... If Candy Ride was in either of the first 3 races I would use him.

I'd probably have used Ack Ack in any of those 3 spots. At least the 8 and 6f ones anyways.

I thought this thread was about the TVG folks yesterday apparently posting P3 tickets for Monmouth that didn't exist as a bet offered.

I was going to add Xtra Heat and then I thought I didn't give Kona enough credit. I always seem to confuse Housbuster with Houston.

Midnight Lute might be the best sprinter EVER.
I totally agree about Speightstown though, I might have jumped the gun.

His triple of the Forgo, and 2 Breeders Cup sprint wins are as good as it gets.
On fast, sloppy and synthetics...
If I am wrong, its not by much... and I said "might be the best ever" not that he is
