- DRF.

I guess it's not 100% he's not going, but Spawr seems like he doesn't want to wheel him back in four weeks after that big effort.

ateam, this was in today's Bloodstock Journal:

"BORDONARO (Memo [Chi]), winner of last Saturday's Ancient Title Breeders' Cup S. (G1), could be supplemented to the November 4 Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) at Churchill Downs, trainer Bill Spawr reports. "We're 50-50," Spawr said. "We'll decide by the 23rd (of October). He came out of the race as good as or better than any race, and that's hard to believe because he ran seven and change (1:07 4/5 for six furlongs). I thought he might bounce, but he didn't. He would have to be supplemented, and I think it's $130,000, plus about $50,000 to enter and such, is what I'm told. He's not the best shipper, so we would have to make sure he's comfortable.".."

Thanks Dunbar, but I still believe, from what I've been seeing, that Spawr really doesn't want to go, and if he does, it'll be because of the pressure from owners/fans/writers/etc.

With those comments he has zero excuse for not coming. Maybe we will get a price on Henny better than 6-5.

I dont give beyer speed figs any weight when capping,
but I do know the top 2 ran lights out the other day.

TEcho ran a winning race. Just got beat by a total sprinting freak.

IF Bord runs in the BCS, I still feel he is the most likely winner.
