Whos the Cowboy is a pretty serious horse as well. He has a real nice running style. I would love to see him step up with these kind of horses. You are right, its a real nice field if they all show up

I doubt very much Whos the Cowboy will pick this race to step up. Hes a very nice horse but this may be too much too soon. Wow, his last race at Monmouth was something to watch, what a move. But I'm not sure horses like Henny Hughes & War Front will conveniently back up as easily as Juan Seryey's charge Brothers Brucker did!

What a race this is shaping up to be. 3 absolute tigers in Henny, War Front and Silver Train. Who needs anymore horses when you have these 3!

I'm sure he'll have many skeptics, but I think Commentator has a real shot at winning this if he goes.. It'll be a small field, which is right up his alley, he would need to break well and hurry to the lead, if that happens, he'd be tough to beat.

Whos the Cowboy is a nice horse but you cant run in Monmouth every month to have a nice career. Its a good opp for this horse. Maybe get a nice speed duel and he could sneak up

This race is gonna be all about the post, if you draw 1 or 2 and your name is not Henny Hughes could prolly just mark off finishing high

U know the more horses means better odds on all!! I wont complain maybe get better than 4/5 on Henny Silver Train will def get alot of action 7/2?? 5/2 and if Commentator goes and gets a 4,5,6 post alot will be on him too

Why would Henny Hughes be a substantial favorite over Silver Train or War Front? Not saying Henny Hughes can't win but I think there is an enormous disparity between what he's actually done and the internet perception.

I couldnt agree more Andy. I've been very impressed with Silver Train and War Front so far. They are both fast and can win under different pace scenarios. Both horses love Belmont Park and both have been battle tested. I think you'll get great value on everybody in here with the exception of the 3 year old Henny Hughes. Sure he can win, but not with my money.

I didn't say he would be the favorite in the VOS but once he donminates and shows his superiorness he will be favored in the BC Sprint after a most impressive performance.
