Siphon City & the Whitney

[miraja2]

Two questions:
1) Is this horse pointing to the Whitney?
2) Is the cornfield track he ran his last race on a real speed favoring track?

I hope this horse goes to the Whitney because - although I admit I don't know much about him and have never even seen him run - he seems like a big bounce candidate to me.
Since he has won 3 straight stakes races and won a 300k race with a field of 13 by 6 lengths in his last start, he might take some money which would be nice because it will mean a bigger payoff for me when Flower Alley smokes them all.

what was his beyer in that last race?

[Pedigree Ann]

He's been running in Florida, at Calder, and he beat some good Calder regulars in his previous race, a G3, drawing off at the end. He has improved with maturity, now a 4yo and all grown up. GIven that Calder is usually a testing track and he had been able to hold on for 9f there, 9f over a glib track like Prairie Meadows probably felt like a picnic to him. I watched the earlier races that night and speed horses, or close to the lead types, did best.

Nineteen horses were nominated to the Whitney. Those expected to run include Flower Alley, Invasor, Premium Tap, Siphon City, Sun King, Wanderin Boy, and possibly West Virginia.
