BC Sprint
Great edition yesterday of the SA Sprint Championship, aka the Ancient Title in the past. You had both the 2013 Sprint and Dirt Mile winners in the race. Giant race by Goldencents making the big move 4 wide a bit too soon; probably didn't see Rich Tapestry coming to him. Taking nothing away from the winner, who obviously handles dry dirt (he was 2 for 2 on off dirt tracks previously), he had a good trip and dead aim on Goldencents, who I believe clearly ran the superior race.
Why was Secret Circle so heavily bet? Yes he won the 2013 Sprint but with a good trip in a race that really fell apart late. He didn't even earn a triple digit Beyer in that win, and being off for 8 months, it was obviously nothing more than a prep for the Sprint.
