Pennies well spent   This is the horse i really like although look to broken down in the Japan Classic under poor management i really wonder what the Trainer was thinking. but showing his true class in the Breeders Bowl Turf when getting up in time to snatch victory by a head show that he is a champion. won 11 from 24 starts he is going to prove very hard to beat.

Streets of Sin  One of the favorite in the betting who knows how to win, won the Singapore Cup in China very easy with speed of 120 before that he was second in the Eclipse Stakes after making some ground in the final stages and was beaten 2 1/2L. my only concern is that he never pass 11 furlong before, is bred to get the distant but can he really stay with all these big horse to put him to the test we will all find out soon.
