Anybody think Fatal Bullet can win The Sprint? I do! 6 for 7 three year old was brilliant in latest track record at Turfway! The thing is, the track wasn't playing all that fast that day (Sept 27th)---he did that himself!

This is going to be great! We have the Kentucky Derby winner against the Dubai World Cup winner versus the Pacific Classic and track record holder against the Goodwood Stakes and previous Del Mar Track record holder against the Santa Anita Derby Winner. They are all running super consistent and the work tab so far looks impressive.

I can't wait for The Breeders Cup this year. Please Mr. Jackson stop playing mind games and run Curlin against Big Brown. Enough talking let them run on the track and decide who the better horse. But on the side caution please watch out for Colonel John and Go Between in the classic they will have a strong say in the race.

After watching the Win and Your In races yesterday I have to agree with the posse. It seems the pro-ride plays more like dirt. Square Eddie was impressive and his gait seemed more like a turf gait. Is Keenland poly? I don't think it's pro-ride. The races at SA were more like dirt races for sure. Kudos to ESPN for their coverage of Woodbine and Keenland. The only dumb thing I saw was the reporter trying to interview the trainer of Dr. Dino when the poor guy's trying to saddle his horse. She finally figured it out and said she'd let him do his job. She's lucky he was easy to saddle or she would have ended up with " hoof face" ( Adam's saying).

What an impressive win by Vineyard Haven in the Champagne at Belmont yesterday. Has the look of something special. And what an unusual and good looking colt. Bright gray with a black mane and tail.

He will probably skip the BC Juvenile, but keep an eye on this one.

TIZDEJAVU is out for the year with, I believe, a condular fracture. The trainer said that he's done for the year but will be back next year, so at least we have something to look forward to.

I also like Cribnote and if Tizdejavu is going at Keeneland I give him a chance to upset the elders as I think he really wants a mile!

The Fantasy Challenge has been tons of fun, and I hope this sort of contest continues in the future.

As for my rankings, I climbed up into the 300's for awhile, but I'm back to a tie for 494 this week. I keep kicking myself because I didn't know about the contest in its first week, and had picked both winners that weekend (including Presious Passion, who was a pretty good price in that race). Oh, what might have been :)
