who gives a sh*t if the race is run at philly?
its an easy prep race restricted to 3Y0 that should set him up fine for the BC.
that plan worked fine for Ashado in 2004.

He's not going to run in the BC if the trainer holds to his word, but i agree with you 100%. Not a fan of Phila Park but this place is set to explode once they get the slots... having spent several years living in Phila, i can tell you that will be one of the busiest slot palaces (nee degenerate machines) in the nation in a couple months. There's nothing wrong with running at the joint if they post up the money.

Songster in the BC? In which race exactly? The Sprint? Cmmon, hes already proven he cant even beat 3 year olds. How would he ever compete against horses like War Front, Bordonaro, Siren Lure and maybe Silver Train?

Id bet him to win over any horse besides Discreet Cat at 6f.
I would think Baffert moves forward with Too Much Bling if he runs well this wknd.
Songster has already proven he is a better 3YO than TMB.
just my take on it.
its not all that uncommon for sprinters to lose and regain their form throughout the year.
his late spring/early summer races were as good as any sprinter besides DCat.
