The way hes riding, he can be beaten. Its going to take a perfect break from the gate and some suave moves to get this guy home first going 7F. Hes never won at a distance other than 6F.

Henny won't have any problem going 7 furlongs. He almost won the BC Juvenille which is 1 1/16 miles and that was after setting suicide fractions. I will be extremely surprised if Henny gets beat tomorrow. He would have definitely been better off drawing an outside post, but it's not going to matter. He'll be able to handle the inside draw. I remeber his debut race at Monmouth. He broke slow and then he was trapped behind horses going down the backstretch. He went outside at about the 3/8 pole and ended up winning by 6 lengths.

No way. This horse wins in a walk. So will Bernardini. These horses coming from Dubai are winning with ease.

Gosh, it must be easy to get rich at this game when you know that horses cannot be beaten.

There is "no way" Henny Hughes will lose, yet at Pinnacle you can put up $171 to win $100, and all Henny has to do is finish ahead of Songster. I guess betting on Henny at Pinnacle or at the track is like taking money from a baby.

Sorry, but these flat out "no way"s drive me nuts, as if you couldn't tell. ;>) Henny looks like the best horse in the race by a good bit, but if I could find 2-1 on the field, I'd take it big time.

Yes, I agree with you. After speding a little bit of time going over the field, Henny is my pick to win but he's not a lock. This is actually a very strong field. This is the strongest King's Bishop in a long time. I certainly would not take anything less than even-money on Henny. There are some good horses in this race.
