I mean, if he draws the 12-hole or something, then I could see trying to beat him, but I think he's just faster at six furlongs than any other horse right now. I don't remember the last time I saw the final furlong of The Vosburgh go in under :12.

Isn't that because they finally cut it to 6f this year Ateam? It used to be 7f and then 6 1/2, which makes that very hard to do.

Argh. I didn't just mean The Vosburgh.. Any six-furlong sprint. I don't remember the last time I've seen it, and he went through some solid fractions and still flew home.

That made me laugh. But really, the sprint is always a wide open affair. And people dont forget this horse when you bet the sprint--HOUSEBUSTER. Remind yourself of that race before you go dumping tons of the sprint race. Man, I about cried when i saw HB break that day.
