In the Sprint, I agree Baffert's horse put in a monster race last out. However, I think this could possibly be a very different animal going 6 rather than 7. If he walks over the field by open lengths, so be it. Wouldn't be the first time I am wrong at the track, LOL.

I am the first to admit that I am biased, but I am pulling for Smokey Stover.

I think you're on to something here. Especially considering his running style. Other horses (near the lead) can hang on for the win at 6 furlongs.. it's the 7th one that costs them against Midnight Lute. I also think his running style isn't the best for the Monmouth track. I'm looking more at Smokey Stover or Greg's Gold.

I dont see any way that Mach Ride makes the early lead in this race. There are at least 4 or 5 other horses way faster early.

- Attila's Storm is ALWAYS sent and might be the first to 3f
- Bordonaro
- Commentator
- Idiot Proof
_ La Traviata

Heck, the whole field might be faster than Mach Ride early. I have seen most of his races, being Calder is my home track, and I realize the addition of blinkers has done wonders, but he is overmatched IMO. Maybe he can pick up the pieces for third or fourth.
