Gladding only took 7 tries to break his maiden at Calder ... and with that trainer change - a Big Cap victory almost felt inevitable.

Actually, how likely is it that Sadler will run Gladding in the Big Cap?

I'm guessing a trip to Dubai for the Godolphin Mile or perhaps the World Cup is more likely.

Of course, I totally forgot about Game On Dude and Mythical Power who together accounted for 2 of Lone Star Park's (that's in Texas) 3 graded stakes (all Grade 3) last year.

Twirling Candy may prove to be legendary early next Month.

All that aside, I'd pay to see a Twirling Candy-Sidney's Candy match race at a flat mile.

Get P Val and Julie Krone to ride and there can be side wagering on who ends up hitting their mount the most down the stretch.

Both of those Bafferts can run a little.

I agree, if by "a little", you mean they are Grade 3 caliber horses.

To this point, neither has any business winning a race like the Big Cap.

And yet they are likely to be Twirling Candy's biggest "threats" in that race.

Neither has a chance of winning the Big Cap so i wouldn't worry. TC's biggest threats will come from elsewhere, i.e. Misremembered or a Matto Mondo type.
