Update, HP stable notes.....
Fast And Furious Joins Shoemaker Lineup Fast and Furious, third-place finisher in the 2005 Shoemaker Breeders' Cup Mile, will try again in the $300,000-added Grade I turf test on Monday, trainer Ron McAnally said Wednesday at Hollywood Park. The 6-year-old son of Singspiel comes off a third-place finish in an allowance race here on April 26, his first start in six months. "His last race was not his style of running," said McAnally of the front-running effort by the French-bred who had come from behind in previous starts. "But he got a lot out of it. And it looks like there will be speed in the Shoemaker." Fast and Furious, who won four of six starts in France before being purchased privately by Arnold Zetcher in 2004, finished second in the Hollywood Derby that year but has won only one of 12 starts in this country. "He has been plagued with quarter cracks all his life but the foot is doing good now," said McAnally encouragingly. Alex Solis, who won the Shoemaker with Journalism in 1993 and Redattore in 2003, has the call. Fast and Furious completed works for the race with a six-furlong move in 1:14.40 on Cushion Track Monday. He has won five of 18 starts and earned $303,125. A field of ten is probable: the Neil Drysdale-trained duo of Becrux (David Flores) and Vega's Lord (Michael Baze), Charmo (Martin Pedroza), Chinese Dragon (Mike Smith), Fast and Furious (Solis), Get Funky (Jose Valdivia, Jr.), Kip Deville (Richard Migliore), Right Special (Brice Blanc), The Tin Man (Victor Espinoza) and Willow O Wisp (Joe Talamo). Kip Deville, the probable favorite, breezed five furlongs on Cushion Track in 1:00.80 Wednesday under regular rider Migliore. "He had his tuner-upper and looked great," said Chip Dutrow, assistant to and brother of trainer Rick Dutrow. "Everybody is happy." Kip Deville has won his last three starts, all at one mile on turf, including the Grade I Kilroe Mile at Santa Anita and the Makers Mark Mile at Keeneland. Three probables completed drills on Cushion Track Tuesday: San Francisco Mile winner Chinese Dragon, four furlongs in :49.60; 2006 runner-up Charmo, five furlongs in :59.80, and Del Mar Derby winner Get Funky, six furlongs in a bullet 1:11.80. On Monday, Fast and Furious was joined by Right Special, six furlongs in 1:15; Willow O Wisp, six furlongs in 1:15.40 breezing, and The Tin Man, one mile in 1:38.20. http://www.hollywoodpark.com/bet_the..._05232007.html

For those of you that have not had the chance to see KipDeville in person, he has grown up to be a very big good looking horse and has done really well since he started training on Cushion track. Looks to be hard to deal with at a flat mile. I will be rooting for the Tin Man.

I'm not gonna be the one to take a stand against Kip. I'll simply watch this race. But, if he were to be beat, Get Funky would be the play IMO. Nice workout.
