Who are the best, as of today?

[RockHardTen1985]

Older Male- Blame, Quality Road

Older Female- Zenyatta, Life At Ten

3-Year-Old Males- Lookin at Lucky, Concord Point

3-Year-Old Females- Devil May Care, Blind Luck...... Not sure how far behind the top 2 Evening Jewel is, I wish she would come for the Alabama

Turf Males- Gio Ponti, The Usual QT

Turf Females- Proviso, Forever Together..... Clearly I would have Tuscan Evening in here, its a shame what happened to her. WatchMaker Watch comment on her needs to be changes ASAP, considering shes not living at all anymore.

Sprinters- Majesticperfection, Bribon

Hollywood Hit is the FASTEST horse (early, at least) sprinting in North America. He, not Bribon, is the real test for Majesticperfection. It's interesting that in listening to discussions before the Vanderbilt about Smokey Fire, the point of reference seemed to be Fatal Bullet, in almost all cases. FB was in a drive from the gate trying to keep up with HH last time out.

Can we get his PP's? Who is the trainer, maybe I can find them on Formulator.

He runs up at WO. Jordan (the JUICER) trains him. Before Jordan got him, he was running on dirt. HH ran 21.91 21.65 for the 1st two splits last out, on the WO tapeta. Those are serious fractions up there. He ran FB into submission and only got run down by Smokey Fire because he didn't change leads in the stretch and was drifting badly, as a result.

His form DRAMATICALLY improved when he was sent to Jordan. His dirt starts were far from anything to be thrilled about, but it's hardly surprising that Jordan moved him up off of CR Trout.

People were bringing up Fatal Bullet with regards to Smokey Fire because he's more of a household name having won stakes races in America. Fact of the matter, as you said, is that Hollywood Hit has absolutely buried him twice this year.

Personally, I think Majesticperfection is better but I'd love to see them lock horns early.

Hollywood Hit looked better to me last year, both he and Fatal Bullet look slower. Fatal Bullet hasn't been as fast as his 3 yr old season when he finished 2nd in The BC. I'm not sure what is going on with HH where he normally would have smoked Smokey Fire in that race, except that Jordan looks more mortal this year.

When does Jordan, or when recently has he ran a horse, so I can find the pp's.

I think HH has some physical issues. I would not expect him in the Sprint. He can run a few times a year tops and on syn seems to be his game and even then it is difficult to keep him sound.
