14 Horses have assembled for one of the top sprint prizes on Turf, the line-up is headed by Breeders Bowl 3rd Credit Castle, but several other horses have Grade 1 experience, the turf is firm for this 1,000,000$ 6f extravaganza. Let\u2019s take a look at the field, where the bookies have 3 joint favourites: #1 <\/SPAN>MINGOON(KY) 7\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=52326<\/A> 29 Races \u2013 8 Wins \u2013 330,538$ The strange thing about this 4yo Mingun Colt is his strength in ungraded racing compared to his flops, whenever he ran in a Graded Stakes race. Somehow it seems to make him nervous, when the big cups are lined up. Last time out he won an ungraded Stakes race in Norway with a convincing 108 over 6.5f early November, before that 2 tries at Grade 2\u2019s produced a 5th<\/SUP> and a 2nd<\/SUP> place, the 2nd<\/SUP> being his best Graded Stakes result. So now after winning 3 races total this season he goes for his first Graded Stakes win, and what a triumph would it be the Japan Sprint today. #2 <\/SPAN>ERMINGTON WHO. .(KY) 22\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=148000<\/A> 16 Races \u2013 5 Wins \u2013 58,692$ If you see the earnings of the 4yo Point Given colt, you realize, that he is not really a force in Stakes racing, he has been coming along nicely in ALWs recently, winning 2 of his last 3 starts, but whenever entered into a Stakes race, he simply can\u2019t compete with his speed, last time out, he was 5th<\/SUP> with a 98 over 6.5f. He generally likes sprinting, with his lifetime high a 107 over 7.5f, a speed he could never match, a 102 his second best. Today it will be an uphill struggle, and his entry is based more on getting a free starting spot, then being skill based. #3 <\/SPAN>FUNNY SIGHED 80\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=80710<\/A> 48 Races \u2013 10 Wins \u2013 179,302$ A typical tsunami entry, claimed for 4,000$ 2 races ago, he will go nowhere, no further comments. #4 WONDERBOY DIESEL 46\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=38176<\/A><\/P> 55 Races \u2013 14 Wins \u2013 398,740$<\/P> Claimed for 5,000 2 races ago, see above. #5 <\/SPAN>FLASH OF DESTINY(ENG) 22\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=70540<\/A> 14 Races \u2013 4 Wins \u2013 250,318$ The 3yo Dubai Destination Colt returned to Turf sprinting 3 races ago, and has responded more than well so far, he cracked 100 over 6f, and followed with a 107 2 ago, both ALW races, where he finished 2nd<\/SUP>, and then came his big race, the GR Simsters held the Turf Sprint of their residency, and Flash of Destiny was suddenly all alone in front, scoring with a 109 nipping Keep on Burnin by a \u00bc length. It was a great celebration, and despite the bookies don\u2019t give him credit yet, his entry into the Grade 1 makes perfect sense, at 3 years, he still looks to have lots of potential, and is likely going to improve further. His running style from the backend makes him vulnerable, if his kick is not placed perfect, but look for a good value on your money with this outside shot. #6 <\/SPAN>REZURRECTION(KY) 12\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=10399<\/A> 17 Races \u2013 7 Wins \u2013 266,617$ Another nice 3yo colt, this one by Dayjur, he has been improving a lot in his last 2 races, both over 6f brought out 108 speeds, nice numbers for a 3yo with only 17 races under his belt. He won a Stakes race in Utah, and confirmed the result by a third place in the Grade 1 Because I said so Stakes, 6f look his perfect trip, and he is 3 out of 5 in his last starts over exactly 6f. He likes to set up his own finishes by setting the early pace and leading the races he runs early, sometimes resulting in gettin caught by faster finishers, but it will be crucial for him to get the early lead.\u00a0 <\/SPAN> #7 <\/SPAN>RED LIGHT RUN IT(ENG) 5\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=142323<\/A> 20 Races \u2013 6 Wins\u00a0 <\/SPAN>– 1,191,080$ A superstar in the making, this 4yo Dansili Colt has been skipping the Breeders Bowl Sprint, and prepared for the Japan Sprint, he was 2nd<\/SUP> just ahead of Rezurrection in the Because I said so Stakes last time out, matching the 108 of the 3yo just beaten by \u00bc length. He likes to stalk a fast pace, which he should find again here, his last win in August was a big one, when he won the Equinics Turf Sprint, a race seeing him set a big 112 pace. He has run 105+ speeds in his last 6 races, and looks a monster of consitency at this part of the year. He finished 8th<\/SUP> in the Japan Sprint last year, but was hindered by rain on a good turf, with the ground being firm he should be a good pick, being declared joint favourite by the bookies. #8 <\/SPAN>CREDIT ADDICTION(IRE) 5\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=120588<\/A> 26 Races \u2013 10 Wins –\u00a0 <\/SPAN>1,006,015$ Another Millionaire is the 2nd<\/SUP> if the 3 joint favourites, the 4yo High Chapparal Colt comes from the Breeders Bowl Sprint, where he finished a disappointing 10th<\/SUP>, holding the lead too early, and then struggling all the way, it may be vital for him this time not to get the lead to early, as he generally is no front runner. He won 2 stakes races this season, the last one in September, and was a good 2nd<\/SUP> in the Equinics, just beaten by Red Light Run it. He is generally much better than in the Breeders Bowl, with a 115 his lifetime high set in a stakes win in April. Last year he was 9th<\/SUP> in the Japan Sprint, another victim of the rain that day. Look for the former Grade 1 winner(the Because I said so Stakes in 07) to try and get another good race, but consistency hasn\u2019t been his first choice so far, so everything is possible. #9 <\/SPAN>GENERAL’S CHARIOT 7\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=53992<\/A> 52 Races \u2013 22 Wins \u2013 4,999,700$ The 6yo Gone West Horse is a real sprint warrior, and he only needs a 5th<\/SUP> place today, to crack the 5 Million Dollar Lifetime Earnings mark, however, this season has been a struggle, and he completly ran out of gas in the Summer, when he finished 9th<\/SUP> in the Equinics, however he still had his moments. In June he won the Grade 2 King\u2019s Fall Stakes over 5f with a 110, his best speed this season, and that shows he\u2019s not hit the age wall, yet, as his lifetime high was a 111 in 2005, in 06 and 07 he managed to win Graded Races with 108 and 107, so he kind of specialized in winning slow races, something which will be tough to get today. I think there is too much speed in the race for him, so he likely will have to wait fir his 7th<\/SUP> Grade 1 triumph. But always expect the old warrior to rebound, and don\u2019t write him off yet.
