With 3 Grade 1's in tow, the only horse that could knock her off for the female sprinter Eclipse is Indian Blessing, and Intangaroo would have been up against it based on running style if the race was 6f.

As it stands, it should be an fair match between the two to decide the championship, considering that both have won at 7f on the synthetic at SA during the winter (unlike Big Brown and Curlin, neither of whom have raced over AW stuff).

The F&M Sprint was designed to be 7 furlongs but because Monmouth couldn't accomodate 7 furlongs in 2007, they ran it at six.

You're right about Intangaroo though, she is having an outstanding year. Dearest Trickski may have something to say about the BC F&M Sprint as well.

Intangaroo is painfully slow. . .

So is everyone else going 7f apparently. Especially pure sprinters. She's the older female version of Visionaire.

Maybe Barry Irwin should lobby the BC to extend the Sprint to 7f, too.

Too late...I see Rollo has taken his "I hate Visionaire" tour on the road....he really needs to let go missing make a score on the mighty Visionaire at Saratoga. But then again...Rollo is a chalk eating weasel and 6-1 is way above what he normally bets.....

Baffert never intended to run Indian Blessing.

That was pretty apparent. . .

Maybe he's taking the Too Much Bling route to the BC with this one. It sure worked well the first time.
