By past Breeders Cup Sprint standards ... there isn't a whole lot of speed in there.

The Vosburgh winner did go wire-to-wire -- but he hadn't seen an early lead since 2008 and there are nickle claimers who could outfoot him before throwing on the air-breaks.

Big Drama won this race wire-to-wire last year in a similar not so speed crazed BC Sprint -- he got an assist from some poor breakers -- Pachito The Che was left. BD can stalk/press and he's not killer fast.

I suppose good ole 7yo Euroears will be on the lead.

If you look at recent Moss pace figs -- I think that M and H Training & Sales Trianburger horse running in the Juvenile Sprint could get loose in there before firing on the air-breaks.
