At the very least, you'd think he'd throw Game On Dude in there, who has been working regularly over at Santa Anita.

Furthermore, I'd imagine Twirling Candy will come out to await the restricted Oceanside at Del Mar on turf, reducing this to a 4-horse joke.

Of course, I think the last 15 runnings of the Swaps have had, at most, 5-horse fields.

I think Twirling Candy wins this

That would be interesting from the barn.

Most definitely. Twirling looked realy sharp last race and is giving 10 less pounds here than Sidney. I'm sure the barn will probably move him out of this race but one can hope he stays here.

I haven't seen Twirling Candy's races, but doesn't he have the same running style as Sidney's Candy? Also, he hasn't raced further than 7f in 2 starts.

Either way, both horses starting in this race seems highly unlikely.
