Some top W/E BSF's..

[The Bid]

Talent Search will be back again and hopefully a more complete horse with Frankle. Lots of good racing to look forward to.

You can't leave out the SA lovers, Greg's Gold and In Summation, in addition to Fabulous Strike. If the trainers of all these sprinters can keep these horses together, this is actually a strong group of sprinters. I will keep my fingers crossed.

[The Bid]

The only Cal horse worth mention is MNL. The others arent in the same zipcode with some of the aforementioned

[cakes44]

I put them in there mostly because of the BC at Santa Anita this year. Greg's Gold and In Summation have definitely shown an affinity for the track.

[The Bid]

Yes, but they arent going to show an affinity for the horses that line up in the gate with them. Big difference in Bilo and BBQ Ed and some of the horses we are talking about here. Lets not compare chocolate icecream to s h it

I think that's a very valid point. Look at Idiot Proof and Gotcha Gold last year at Monmouth as examples. Neither of them world beaters but had shown great form on Monmouth's track and both of them finished in the exacta in their BC races. I think that it would be a mistake to dismiss either Greg's Gold or especially In Summation over the SA surface.

Who knows what the SA surface will be come BC day?

Idiot Proof is a very nice sprinter, but he's much better on dirt than poly/cushion.

He's being shipped to Turf Paradise for his next start. I think they finally realized he's not the same horse on false tracks.

isnt bob black jack time of 1:06 2/5 a beyer # of about 158, which would mean the variant is about a minus 50?

Sounds about right... old days SA would have variants of -40 on fast days...

[MISTERGEE]

i wonder how putting a minus 47 on the other runners that day is shaping up
