Good Luck Fabulous Strike!
I know he has a lot of fans on the board. He should beat this field, although a few of these could step up. Frankel's Anddan could be dangerous.

I can't see Fabulous Strike winning. He's probably going to run as good as he did in the Stephens, the only time he ran vs real horses. Can't wait to bet against him if he's less than 2-1.

I wouldn't be too excited to jump on him as an odds-on gamble just based on the competition factor, but the fact remains that on just about every numerical scale meant to measure speed of thoroughbred races (Beyer, TG, etc) this horse simply towers above every other horse in the field based on recent form.
I'd have to dig in more based on class/pace etc, but his raw numbers are just way too good for this group.

I have also been waiting for Strike to draw into a big race, to bet against him, but this field isn't that strong IMO. FS will give you a good 6 furlongs and his style can throw other early speed horses out of their game. This is about a Grade 3 level race, unless some others step up. The field is only 7 deep, its hard to get Strike out of the exacta even if he doesn't run well.
I am rooting for FS to win in visually impressive style this time.

There were some smoke and mirrors trip wise in those three WVA wins---all soft trips, against moderate company----however, his figures are stone cold legit.
He figures to get his trip here---so we should find out if he's just a freak at MNR and only a good horse elsewhere...or if he improved and developed since his loss as the 2/5 favorite to Diabolical four starts back.

It is pretty rare I would call a horse an overlay at 4 to 5, but this is one of those times.
How soon do you think it will be until we see a horse with such gigantic figures, earned multiple times, go off at that price?

Yeah Mike...seemed to me watching FS prick his ears, it looked like he was looking for someone to run with him. It looked like he was just out for a jog the way he was doing it so easy.
