Longchamp Sprint
LONGCHAMP SPRINT 275,000 5f Turf
Your Final ticket for the BB is here, be prepared for its unearthly field!
1)Digital Overture trained by Spelunker is the 3rd best rank turf sprinter! He’s a machine. Winning the Smackdown grade 1 two starts ago convincingly, and winning a grade 2 prior to that performance! His last race he failed to fire but he seems fresh today, and he has speed! Looking forward to seeing him run in the BB’s!!! Only weakness is that he has a tendency to bounce, he has brilliant days, and unforgiving ones! Seems exceptionally dangerous as he has tons of experience! VERY BIG THREAT!
2)Solid Rock goes out for the revelation barn, seems very consistent, but needs more from him to win this. Has won several allowances before running in the grade 2 Winthorpe 5f turf which he ran a decent 3rd, which several starters here come off the same race. Interesting since he seems to like the distance! Possibility, but looking elsewhere.
3) Tete Not Galileo is trained by the fantastic racelord, seems past his peak, but ran in his last 8 graded stake, he’s hit the board 6 times! Seems like a nice horse, but not enough for this race, may need to step it up a notch. I can easily see him finishing top 5, as the trainer racelord knows what he’s doing, since his stable has won over $900,000 this year! Interesting.
4) General Admission for hillbilly7 seems as if hillbilly7 entered him in the wrong race. Shows speed in recent starts, but needs a miracle! He’s way over his head today. He’s yet to win an important race to gain him recognition to be worthy of this field. Only way he can win is if the other horses let him get a head start. Perhaps the trainer just wants to run in a grade 2?
5) Q Tip Xp is breaking from the 5 hole for trainer xixa. He’s also had some bounces, seems o be very dangerous if he runs his big races, including a sp# of 107 on week 2874.2010 to win a stake impressively. Comes off a heartbreaking loss last time out by ½ a length, looking for revenge, but needs to run a cracker of a race to compete.
6) Drunken Lullabies speaks for himself. He’s extremely quick, and he can steal this race, as it’s only 5f and I think his trainer blinkers, has in fact gave his horse blinkers. He’s one nice looking horse and is a son of Daylami but, his jockey only has a 5% win percentage. He’s been a very consistent and he desperately needs the point for the BB since he’s ranked 17th. What a thrilling horse for blinkers! He’ll be an important horse for the race makeup since its only 5f, but will he have enough for the stretch after going fractions like 21& change and 44 flat?
7)Otto Vasher ran superbly last time out to gain him a sp# 107 while finishing second in a grade 2, has been improving every step of them way. Dangerous as he’s a deep closer but 5f seems ridiculously short for him. Closing late, but too short of a distance, needs tons of luck. He’s got great breeding, but an interesting entry.
8) Royally Red seems has won several stakes throughout the year. He’s a nice closer and seems to still be very game but needs his best to deal with others. He might be out sprinted from the start and never catch up, but has a lethal turn of foot. Expect him closing extremely late, even past the wire!
9)Xtremely Today seems never better, as he won 10 races from 28 starts getting him half a million dollars. Has proved he can get the distance, appealing as his form has been tailing off his last 4 races, but capable of getting the job done.
10) General’s Chariot…. No comments. A picture can speak a thousand words, but his name can say 2 words. Best Sprinter! He’s amazing; he’ll definitely be in the BB and has amazing wins under his belt, as he proved victorious in his last start in the Cane Toad Stakes Gr-2! Horse who has the most to prove before the BB to show that the top spot is rightfully his!
11) Dr Cats Meow has yet to run a bad race, but needs to break into the 100’s as he yet to do that in his last 8 starts, he’s very genuine , as he won 5 of his last seven, finishing all 7 of those races in the top 3! May come and pass tired horses and maybe if lucky, he can get up late to hit top 5, but needs to run a sparkling race to be considered a threat.
12)Nine Under takes the step up as he won several stakes recetnyl, and he’s very consistent, he may take home the race as he won his last race, the Winthorpe Stakes by a length, beating several horses in this field today, and I can easily see a repeat. Like his chance to finish top 4. Threat.
13) UNclutch may seems way over his head, he was only beaten in the Winhorpe stake by a length and a half, closing quickly. Can take a check home if he closes as well as he can. Threat but not for the win.
14) Royal Jack seems as if maybe he’s in too much to ask for, since he;s got speed. It’s not as if h was a closer topick up the pieces late, but you never know. Threat since he has been posting outrageous sp#’s!
I have no idea who can win this, but the BB is coming, and this is the final prep. Good Luck. Thee seems to be tons of speed, so a closer may sneak up the upset, but this sprint seems to have lots of talent and not much separation between the winner to the last horse once they cross the wire!If I have to pick the horse I think who will win it, it will be General’s Chariot, but if I had to pick a longshot, it would be Uncltuch.
