Remember Birdonthewire? In '93 he reeled off wins in the Tom Fool (7f), Forego (7f) and the Vosburgh (7f) looking like a monster. His only lifetime win at 6f was when he was a 2yr old in an MSW. So what does the public do in the BC (6f)? That's right, made him the chalk. Ran up the track. Easy easy bet against. Not saying HH won't handle the 6f, but your Aldeberan comment made me think of Birdonthewire.

I'll be taking a long look at Commentator if the price is right.

Henny is the best here but I am uneasy at taking too short a price on him in a race like the Sprint that is one of the TOUGHEST races in North America to win along with the BC Mile and Kentucky Derby....I actually think War Front is fast enough and good enough to have a big shot here....he can rate, unlike Commentator and some of the others with the talent to win this, and I think that makes him the most dangerous competition for Henny....
I'm not a fan of any of the California horses.....Kelly's Kanding is intriguing because he loves CD and is in great form right now, but even he doesn't appear as fast as Henny and War Front to me.....Too Much Bling is VERY intriguing for Baffert to toss him in here off the shelf.....he isn't as fast a 3YO as Henny but could capitalize if that one doesn't fire....interesting race.....pace should be as hot as always..

Henny is better at 6 than 7, so I wouldn't throw him out for that reason. Price dictates why I won't use him, but I won't be shocked if he won. Now Bordanaro winning would shock me.

He is as fast as him sheet wise.....although 2MB has only run one number as fast as him, I think it was that slop race he won, won't know until later, but either way, I using him. I have no idea what HH's last number was, but I am going to assume it was somewhat similar Last edited by Scav : 10-24-2006 at 02:11 PM.

OH now I have to go with MM. I didn't think she would be in here, but I love her so. I just hope she isn't in over her head. DANG my friend for going to work for someone else now I can't get anymore inside scoop on her.  I will have to look over stuff then make my decision, but my "EMOTIONAL" pick is her.

TOO MUCH BLING's work yesterday was at Santa Anita,and in company with DA STOOPS. “They went nice. They cruised around there.”--Trainer Bob Baffert Bling is working in Cali,because he is a Cali horse.So,if you want to avoid using Cali horses(like you normally do,) then take note.

I'm no huge Henny Hughes fan, but this year's Vosburgh was 6F and so was his 3YO debut.
Comparing him to Aldebaran and BirdontheWire makes little to no sense.

Henny has run 2 races at 6f this year. One in 1:08:1 in his 1st start in like 7 months and the other in 1:08 flat in a Grade 1 against olders, and out of the 1 hole I believe. If he loses, I don't think it will be because he doesn't like the distance.
