Agree completely. Had an eye on him since a handicap win @ Ellis in August. Will keep watching closely.

Awaiting confirmation, but Humble and Hungry (Limehouse), who broke his maiden on the Belmont turf last week, is expected to go in the Juvenile Turf. He's trained by Ignacio Correas IV and will be ridden by Olivier Peslier.

I wonder if Tom Proctor will look at running Banned in the Juv Turf. He won a N1X at Kee on Sunday very easily after breaking his maiden handily at Belmont.

Cape Blanco and Fame and Glory Out

Outlining Ballydoyle's likely team for the Breeders' Cup next month, O'Brien said: "Beethoven is being aimed at the Mile and Bright Horizon will go for the Marathon. Together is under serious consideration for the Juvenile Fillies Turf, while Treasure Beach, who ran third in the Royal Lodge, may go for the Juvenile Turf.

Steve Margolis on ATR Thursday: CASH REFUND, sharp sub :59 worker at KEE this morning, is a go for the Sprint.

DUE DATE would go in the Turf Sprint if he can make what is shaping up as an overflow field..

He has had atrocious trips in his last two and would have a shot at a giant price in the turf sprint.

I liked him at Kee because he worked against the race in both of the Saratoga tries, I wouldn't really characterize the 2nd loss to Awakino Cat as an atrocious trip. Chamberlain Bridge is going to be very tough off of that trip at Keeneland.

Scott Lake said on ATR Thursday that Pashito the Che would run in the Sprint if he can make the field. Lake owns an enviable BC Sprint record running 2nd at 49-1 with Thunderello in 2002 (Orientate) at Arlington and 3rd with Shake You Down in 2003 (Cajun Beat) at Santa Anita.

Central City is a horse I fear and know I'll use in the Turf Sprint...

He ran a very nice race at Keeneland and his effort in the Turf Sprint stake on Oaks day might have been the best of all of them.

The thing is Dubb owns Stradivinsky who is going to be entered solely to burn up the speed and set the table for Silver Timber.

When he battled through a :21.26 opening quarter and still almost won?
