Haven't capped it. Is there other early speed? He is certainly a threat if he gets loose on the lead but will wind up toast like usual if he is forced into ridiculous fractions. I'd love to see him win though.

He looked super for the 1st 4 furlongs, but they still put up a solid time I believe its 1:08.3 so he can still get it done just needs a little drop in class

He certainly showed a lot more heart coming down the stretch which is encouraging at least. Thought he was going to fight back and win for a minute there.

He's just not that good. No disrespect to Spooky Mulder, who's about as game and solid as they come, but Spanish Chesnut was supposed to win today's race.

man,
this is one of the most overrated(and overbet) horses I have ever seen.

he wins one 8f santa anita grade 2 race in the spring of his 3YO year(there are like a million of those every spring at santa anita) and everyone thinks he is a top class sprinter.
he is not.
he sucks.
in fact, just about everything i am seeing from Horse Chestnut sucks on both turf and dirt.
its a shame b/c he was such a nice racehorse.
