"3 yr old sprinters

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How are this year's 3 yr old sprinters? Lost has 2 competitiors in a $150,000 contest. Why is SC not a sprinter? Are they all going for richer routes?" ;)

Looked very impressive and won under a hold. Hopefully they keep him sprinting as it looks like that is his forte.

Agree as the distances go longer last year he began to show major cracks and finally gave up chasing the fields. Glad to see this one was NOT ruined.

This is ironic because I was working on my software and reviewing the 2005 derby as an example. It was clear to me that he was the 'rabbit' and I am glad to see they spotted the horse so it could do well.

this is the horse that denied racing fans the first Triple Crown in 26 years.
