Default BC Sprint
Am i the only one not sold on Drefong?
Kings Bishop Win

* restircted 3 YO race
* no pressure up front
* speed favoring track that day
* off since late August

Having said that, he's going against established older sprinters, and is 3rd choice over AP Indian? He's never EVER been this deep, and i think that baffert/speed is propping this one up.

Historically layoff horses have done well 8 of last 13 have won in the sprint off 35+ day layoffs so don't dismiss a horse you like just because of a layoff.

AP Indian is the 4th choice on the morning line? How could he possibly go off longer than Drefong, even with the public's Baffert love affair?

West Coast love for Baffert & Ellis which means no love for Arnaud Delacour.

I'll sign up for 4-1 on him right now.

Don't think we see those 4-1 guys. How often are we all fired up with Breeders Cup morning line and plan accordingly only to be dissapointed. Tepin last year for instance.

More importantly to me, is what will his odds equate to in the multi's. My guess is he will be generous there as people try to get through being thin to spread in other legs.

I think there are a few questionable morning lines.

I just did that race and I felt up to that point was my best bet of the entire weekend.
