How could Singing Bullet not run after that scintillating prep?

He makes Fear the Cowboy look like Hindoo.

The bottom end is the bottom of the barrel for a G1 race. Other than that, I think this race is more than a little bit interesting...mostly because SA is in. Don’t necessarily think he can win, and GP isn’t the best place to try to win at 1 1/8th on the lead in my betting experience, but he is a running motherf#%*er and will have an affect.

It is certainly difficult envisioning a scenario where she can win. I'd honestly have a really hard time betting her to beat War Story or Gunnereva.

Unless Gun Runner has a crap day, which is unlikely as his training suggests, they are all running for second. Id be very surprised if Steller Wind gets in superfecta against these horses. Seems way over matched here.

I would happily take a price on either or both of those.

Ill bet West Coast. He is probably not good enough, but he's the one who can still move forward IMO.

I think her best races are good enough and first-time Chad does not suck. She is an excellent horse on her best day, sure Gun Runner is way the horse to beat but of the rest, I would take a shot with her at 25/1 before Collected at 7/1.

I know I cant be the only one that thinks this race sets up differently than the BCC for Gun Runner because of the early zip that's sure to be shown by Sharp Azteca (amongst others, seemingly).

This is not at all saying Gun Runner won't excel with the stalk and pounce trip, but the chase and fade trip can't fully be dismissed either. While he'll be on top of 95% of my tickets, I will also be playing the scenario that benefits a few of the closers, while keying GR and West Coast in 3rd and 4th.

Hope everyone enjoys themselves and makes some money this weekend!

Collected was gutted in the BC chasing a horse he’ll never catch. You should get 3x his price that day. You won’t. But you should.
