The Dandy worked out but the carding of the 3yo filly sprint on the same day as the Test was a big mistake. The Test has drawn fields in the past even with heavy favorites simply cause it is the last G1 of the racing season for 3yo fillies so people will take the shot. The last four years it drew 12, 13, 9, and 12 horse fields. This year it was a joke.

Because its a huge purse, he loves Saratoga and who besides Curlin would he have to face? 2nd place pays out a lot of money.

He has a tendency to fold like a cheap tent when he gets passed.

If I were his trainer I would run him at Monmouth.

Monmouth would work. Either that or Saratoga where he just blasted allowance horses disguised as a stakes race. On a Saturday of all days.
Imagine that, we can look back on this meet in Sep and reflect back on who the stars of the Saturdays were and Fairbanks name will be front and center.
My, have times and racing changed.

It was a paceless race. He would be the bet against of the century in the Woodward against Curlin.

If Fairbanks is considered a star then mass suicides should be an option for racing fans.
