This has been a nice race in the recent past, Commentator won it...Clock Stopper running against a huge speed bias that day to win...me telling anyone that would listen that he would win the BC Sprint, only to have him get hurt and Cajun Beat win, that was horrible, because these two were within a neck of each other in the Kentucky Cup Sprint...

Because it's being run on the junk, I have no idea how it will play out. I think Latent Heat is the class of the field and should win but again, on the junk u never know. Circular Quay appeared to be a standout too and we saw Happy Ticket and Spun Sugar do nothing. I think that along with Latent Heat, Midnight Lute is above the rest of the field. I'd say that Reigning Court has to be respected off a win over the Turfway junk and Likely has a win and a second on the Turfway junk. Sailors Sunset has seemingly really improved and if u like Midnight Lute, u have to take a look at Sailors since he recently beat the comebacking Midnight Lute. I'll probably play Latent Heat and Midnight Lute in the top two spots and Sailors Sunset, Reigning Court, and Likely in the third with Lewis Michael in the fourth if I play a super.

Let's make it a box of:
Latent Heat-4
Midnight Lute-12
Sailors Sunset-10
Reigning Court-12
Likely-12

Clockstopper got a brutal trip, even for him, in that Kentucky Cup Sprint and should have won fairly easily.

Of course nobody was beating Cajun Beat in that BC.

That's true...

I would have been fine with it, because I liked Cajun Beat and had him, but I didn't have Bluesthestandard, so I got nothing...It's a stretch that CS would have been second, but it was very frustrating to see that happen...

Happy Ticket had the race won if he didnt get completely cut off.

Thats very hard to make that statement. Asi Siempre was coming with a full head of steam down the center and would have been tough for Happy Ticket to catch. I think the margin of victory would have been less, but I think the Biancone charge would have still won. Asi Siempre got the all important jump on Happy Ticket.
