In the 2yo Sprint on Friday:
Two Euro's appear best from that continent.
The 1.1 million dollar purchase Sergei Prokofeiv had no right winning his last,took a miserable "no chance in hell" trip......and won it like a star......scary good stuff.
You know how those Euro horses never have any early speed ?
Meet Soldier's Call...….she's blazing fast...….and keeps going.
Soldier's Call also just ran third(beaten a neck) @ Longchamp in a Group 1 against 15 older horses....much older.......quite impressive for a 2yo.
Nice class relief for her Friday.

Sergei Prokofiev had a perfect trip to win his last.

I'll listen...….go ahead.
I do know there is one train of thought that there was a factor aiding Sergei.
But I don't think it applies to SP's race due to the course profile at the distance,and the way SP's trip played out.

I know a lot can happen in a 5.5 turf sprint for 2yo's...

but Soldier's Call is the real deal. That was a legit G1 field of older horses and really should have won.

He's one of the 4 im using. Im keeping that race simple. Im against Pletcher, Cassee and all of the Ward horses. They can all take money and i want none of them.

No, the 5th horse should have won.
