12/22: HOL Futurity (Gr. I)

[Bobby Fischer]

It is interesting that Zayat would run two of his most talented 2yo sprinters against each other here.
He really has a good thing going with Massive Drama. Kafwain is almost a 6furlong sire, but people are starting to buy into the idea that this horse has potential at a route. Baffert has him on his toes. Eaton's Gift could be a real problem for MD. Last two were big impressive efforts. The way he did them, almost would indicate that he is a threat to freak if allowed to go all-out on a fast cushion track. They don't exactly compliment each other's styles.

Nakatani has had things his way with Colonel John and could well get another trip with the two Zayat colts and a couple other nice animals who attend the pace... He wants to sit a nice trip and time his run just off the big pace. His biggest obstacle would be one of the speed horses getting bold in the lane and having to take them on early.

after studying the race; i don't like Sunset or Monba all that much.
Should be Colonel John or Indian Sun, but Eaton's Gift, Referee, and Massive Drama all have an outside shot.

This is going to be one of those ultra-dynamic synthetic races that I am supposed to oppose, but it does look very interesting.
