For sober handicappers, or at worst, subtly inebriated players, One Size Fits All<\/B> stands out amidst a contentious field of very similarly capable sprinters.<\/P>

Named for the iron-horse sprint champion, undefeated in his lone local outing, a romp in the Grade III Maryland Breeder\u2019s Bowl in 1:08.4, the Grade I Lever Sparky for two-year-olds at six furlongs looks on paper as much a dog fight as a horse race.<\/P>

Twelve of the fourteen are multiple winners, with ten of those owning at least one stakes win, and five of those banging out at least one graded stakes win. Even the two that have but one win – one has two other starts other than the debut win, a pair of seconds in stakes races, while the other one-time winner finished second by a nose in a Grade III promptly after breaking his maiden. <\/P>

If you want something fast, you have a bunch of choices. If you want a rallying closer, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll find one to your liking. Top to bottom, there really isn\u2019t a lot to differentiate one from the others; there is a plausible case to be made for every one of the entrants. <\/P>

One Size Fits All sets himself apart from the others and that is only angle I can compile sans intoxication. <\/P>

A son of Grey Swallow, he won his first two starts, then ran second in his stakes debut, all turf sprints, before back to back stakes wins, including the Grade III Goats That Faint Juvenile. <\/P>

His route debut, the Grade I Guns and Roses resulted in a solid second place finish before he turned back to a sprint subsequently, finishing a rallying third in the seven furlong Group III Nationwide Stakes. With a nearly impeccable resume at this point, One Size Fits All made his way to the Breeder\u2019s Bowl Juvenile Turf with strong backing and very realistic chance at victory.<\/P>

His dull finish on Breeder\u2019s Bowl day, eleventh at the wire, in no man\u2019s land throughout the race, while disappointing, seemed to also serve a function in the colt\u2019s career. <\/P>

As quickly as possible, One Size Fits All was given an opportunity at dirt racing for the first time in his career. The opportunity was a useful one as well, as the Grade I Arizona Diamond at a mile and a sixteenth drew an accomplished field of graded stakes regulars. <\/P>

Lightly raced, but highly regarded On The Road <\/B>took another step towards the top of the heap by winning the Arizona Diamond, but One Size Fits All was a menacing factor throughout, simply incapable of running past the winner while clearly second best. <\/P>

Bridled Dancer<\/B>, second in the Grade III Abstract Juvenile before winning both the Grade I Hoserhead and the Grade III Buckeye Juvenile, was third, well in front of Grade II North Fork winner Incredible Law<\/B>. Kat Kall<\/B>, winner of both the Grade II Darling-Squash as well as the Grade III Closest Friend, was far behind, as was Grade I Sparkling Wine runner-up Xtra Tales<\/B>.<\/P>

So now, after going through the mechanics of a strong juvenile campaign on turf, and having transitioned from grass routes to dirt routes with success, it seems prudent to jump in with Grade I sprinters on the non-synthesized main track. <\/P>

Seems counter-intuitive, right? Never, ever bet those ones trying something new for the first time and all that nonsense, no?<\/P>

What if this one is maybe just the best horse in the race right now?<\/P>

Forget the distance or the surface because he can sprint. He can run on grass, he can run on dirt. He has tied into good horses in good races right along while following the mechanics of a \u2018campaign\u2019. Clearly, the \u2018campaigning\u2019 has ended. This is where they want to run the horse because this is where they want to run the horse.<\/P>

I can\u2019t make a stronger case for the raw talent and current form of any other member of the field more persuasively and honestly, I can\u2019t really find a better horse in the field. His record, accomplishments, versatility, and company lines stamp One Size Fits All as both the one to hold off and the one to run past late in this jumble of sprinting firepower.<\/P>

Goblin King <\/B>showed he was all sprinter with a disappointing sixth in the Grade III Cryongenics Juvenile at a mile, his route debut. The son of Corinthian had began his career with three consecutive wins at five and a half furlongs, including the Chief Hulk Memorial as well as the Grade III Montana Futurity. <\/P>

A rallying second in Vermont\u2019s Grade I Feed The Children against seventeen other opponents in his fourth career outing, his undefeated status was blemished and thus offering a chance to test two-turns. The defeat in the Cryogenics was unequivocal for the connections, as they not just shortened back to a sprint, but they went all the way back, to a four and a half furlong dash.<\/P>

The Grade III Breeder\u2019s Bowl Nightcap Youth Dirt Sprint was a good chance to run another strong second, rallying from just off the pace to finish a half-length behind Talkin\u2019 Baseball<\/B>, who returned last month to solidify his status as top-ranked juvenile sprinter by taking the Group I Twinhollow Trainer Champion.<\/P>

With nary a criticism to be levied his way, Goblin King exudes the sense that you get from many in this race – a sort of generic talent, unequivocally provable talent that is often spoken more of in terms of lack of imperfections than in terms of actual discernable abilities.<\/P>

There\u2019s no reason to believe that he won\u2019t be a major contributor to the outcome of the race and aside from the litany of reasons similar to the reasons for each of his competitors that affirm his and his competitors\u2019 respective merit, the fact that he is reunited with Tony Rolling, who rode him in the Feed The Children, may be as much a hook to hang a hat on as anything is. <\/P>

Entering this race on the heels of two impressive stakes wins, Burnin Love<\/B> seems to be doing everything right at the moment. By Pivotal and out of the Gone West mare West Inferno<\/B>, the late running brown colt is related to several major winners.<\/P>

West Inferno, out of graded stakes placed Red Inferno<\/B>, is a half-sister to Grade I Eddie Haskell and Grade I LA Derby winner Cry Inferno<\/B>, earner of over 1.2 million. She is also a half to fifteen-time winner and million dollar earner Gold Inferno<\/B>, winner of the Group III Violin Mile as a three-year-old facing older as well as back to back graded wins in the Grade II Utah BB Mile and Grade III Harey Carey Memorial the following year.<\/P>

Multiple stakes winning Fusaichi<\/B> Inferno, another half-sister to West Inferno, is a thirteen time winner and earner of over three hundred and fifty-thousand dollars. After a two-year-old season in which she won two of six with a second and a third, she put together five wins the following year at age three. Despite a slow start to her four-year-old season in which she lost her first eight races, but was second or third four times, fourth three times and once fifth, she caught fire late, winning four in a row and five of her last seven. Despite a decent start to the 2008 season, including a win, she was bred to Montjeu, producing Windsplitter<\/B>, already two for four, with a second and a third place finish.<\/P>

Three-year-old Empire Inferno<\/B>, also a half-brother, is a winner of his most recent start, a conditioned allowance on turf, and is rapidly closing in on two hundred thousand dollars in earnings via seven wins, nine seconds, and two third place finishes in a twenty race career. A beacon of consistency, the son of Empire Maker has been off the board just twice, a fourth in his final try at a dirt sprint and a fifth place finish in the Group II Tette Mile after contesting the pace past the three-eighths pole.<\/P>

The departure from race analysis to pedigree expose is not simply a historical note to add flavor, but something to remember about this particular entrant, Burnin Love. Everyone in the race has obvious tangible assets, so again, my angle is to look for distinction, something that makes a horse unique in the race no matter how seemingly intangible.<\/P>

This colt is tough to knock to begin with, for what he lacks in sex appeal type form or classic wins, he atones for with strong current form against good horses. Perhaps he is a better horse. His family sure suggests that he may have one thing working strongly in his favor if he is just now starting to ascend towards his peak in talent. <\/P>

If pedigree does make a difference, then consider Chem Lab<\/B> as well for many of the same reasons. His dam, Organic Project<\/B>, debuted at age three, winning her first three races, including a stakes win, all going a route of ground. She made all of the hip three-year-old filly graded races, including the Black Middle Flower, the Sister Hen, and the Birmingham, offering little in the way of competition to the best sophomore fillies.<\/P>

However, later in the season, Organic Project tried a sprint on turf, winning easily. After a failed route try subsequently, the season ended with six excellent sprint efforts, including a win in the Grade III Blueberry and two other victories.<\/P>

She returned as a four-year-old with a mission, landing in four graded stakes sprints amidst her first five starts in 2001. Though winless in that span, she was second three times and twice third, and appeared poised for a solid campaign. She tailed off quickly however, losing consistently in minor stakes and allowances before being ushered off early the next season. <\/P>

The peculiar mare, enigmatic but alluring on the track, has been a virtual racehorse machine in her second life. Arguably one of the most prolific mares around, Organic Project has produced seven foals in seven years from 2002 to 2008. <\/P>

All seven foals are recorded winners. Her first foal, Queen\u2019s Secret<\/B>, was a four time winner, mostly in the claiming ranks. Since then, all six foals are stakes winners, all have earned well over one hundred thousand, with three of those over a quarter-million in earnings.<\/P><\/I>

Big Bones Billy<\/B>, earner of over a half-million, routinely banged around the graded stakes ranks as a three-year-old and four-year-old, with wins in the Group II Trial By Night and Grade II Kentucky Breeder\u2019s Bowl Sprint and strong placings in the Group III Sand Castle Godolfin Mile and the Grade II Astroturf Sprint. <\/P>

Stakes winner Awe Kitty<\/B>, a ten-time winner in a five-year-career that saw at least one win in every year she ran, was a reliable minor stakes and allowance performer, racking up $268,000 in earnings. Turf loving Gypsy Angel <\/B>made over $300,000 in a four-year-career best described as \u2018hard knocking\u2019. Beginning her career with success in minor stakes, winning some, but making an impact in nearly all, the daughter of High Chaparral drifted into the allowance ranks in the later years, remaining largely consistent until her dreadful performances this season.<\/P>

Four-year-old Organic Chemistry <\/B>looked like he could be a monster as a two-year-old, seemingly making strides towards being a major factor as a sophomore turf router. Instead, his form leveled, tapered, and has finally imploded. Sophomore Words and Music<\/B>, like several of his siblings, made a quick and successful transition to turf racing early in his career. He won twice at two, including a stakes race. This season, he has won five races, all on the turf, but has done something very interesting – winning at six and a half furlongs, a mile and a sixteenth, a mile and three-sixteenths, and a mile and a half. <\/P>

Chem Lab really does not have a bad race anywhere on his form. His form doesn\u2019t jump off the page at a guy, but his most recent, a fourth place finish in the Alydar Bacon in his route debut on dirt is not a bad race. And if you ignore that race, you have a colt that has three straight wins since moving off of the turf course, including dominant wins in the Blarney Bengal Cap and the Gen. Sweetpants Stakes.<\/P>

Then the knock immediately becomes that Chem Lab faced small fields to win those races. That may or may not be the case, the runner-up in the Blarney Bengal returned to run a strong second in the What A Crock after leading late. But then again, the runner-up in the Gen Sweetpants returned to run unimpressively. <\/P>

In reality, I think that this is where his race in the Alydar Bacon either validates his talent and potential or if it exemplifies why his family all have such impressive resumes. Are the connections of Chem Lab and his many siblings simply in the right races most of the time? If that\u2019s the case, then why run here? Chem Lab is fast and he\u2019ll need to be fast. Talent check on the immediate horizon.<\/P>

Lightly-raced Adrastos <\/B>has that sex appeal of the unknown quantity, or perhaps, quality. That is enough to make him an interesting consideration and perhaps even the one that you really like, but the case is tough to make for a double-barrel cash investment. <\/P>

Out of the Pure Prize mare Pure Hollandia<\/B>, the Australian-bred son of Zeditave is a full-brother to two-time stakes winning and Grade I placed Lumberred<\/B>. <\/P>

A debut winner in the slop, Adrastos ascended immediately to stakes company, running a hard finishing second of four in the Duke Paul behind Thor\u2019s Odyssey<\/B>, a winner of nearly $175,000 with five wins from six starts. Six weeks later, again in a short field, Adrastos ran second, this time defeated by Gone Sim Star<\/B>, four for five in his brief career, a quarter-length shy of perfection. <\/P>

Yes, Adrastos has been running second to good horses. The problem is that he\u2019s running seconds and splitting the field. And that is only a problem insofar as it makes judging the impact of those second place finishes much more difficult than if he was facing larger, deeper fields of talent. <\/P>

Horses that win their debut race can usually run a bit. I\u2019m not inclined to fall in love with a horse that can\u2019t win in races where you can hit the dime super every time by boxing the field for two dollars and forty cents. <\/P>

But Thor\u2019s Odyssey and Gone Sim Star are both very nice horses that I think would stack up well in this field. And Adrastos didn\u2019t get beaten seven lengths by those rivals, he was getting to them late. He was trying to win. <\/P>

With a pair of strong races under his belt, a distance that seems to be to his liking, and a strong chance to show a bit of improvement yet, Adrastos is a must-use for players, yet hard to consider as a key.<\/P>

The nagging problem that needs addressed is what to do with Brave Ulysses<\/B>. 11-1 is something of a troubling price on this colt. <\/P>

If you can draw a line through his last two races, you are looking at the colt that was the toast of the town after his win in the Grade I Feed The Children. And really, drawing those lines isn\u2019t a tough assignment, as this appears like a quintessential rebound spot. His last two, a defeat in his route debut, and a trouncing in his turf debut, are both highly excusable.<\/P>

11-1 starts to look like a pretty solid offering for a colt that is nearly perfect and appears a star in the making. Particularly when you rather nonchalantly note that he has twice been 11-1 in the past, the first time he won the Freshman Sires Series, the next time he was winning the Grade I Feed The Children.<\/P>

No matter how eloquently I convince myself of this theory – that this is the star sprinter, his last two races to be forever known as \u2018the two bad races\u2019 – I keep staring at one thing on his form that worries me.<\/P>

If Brave Ulysses is not \u2018right there\u2019 when they turn for home, he seems to wilt. Even in his lone defeat prior to \u2018the two bad races\u2019, third in the Grade III High Rollers, he was unable to kick away from the field after a race-long duel and appeared to lose his grit in the closing three-sixteenths of a mile. <\/P>

Is that just brazen speculation? My own theories seem to shoot down my other theories, as perhaps he was simply all-out to be third best in the High Rollers and he did not want to route and he did not like the turf. What then? <\/P>

Brave Ulysses belongs right alongside Adrastos for almost exactly the opposite reason. Yet like Adrastos, he is a must-use, but the contradicting theories that also support one another are confusing enough to make sure I stay away from keying him or making much of a \u2018win\u2019 bet.<\/P>

Very fast and ultra-consistent, Ransom Dancin<\/B> is three for seven with a second and two third place finishes, including a stakes win in the seven furlong Dyna From Known Cap and third place finishes in both the six and a half furlong Grade III Abstract Juvenile and the four and a half furlong Grade III Breeder\u2019s Bowl Nightcap Youth Dirt Sprint. <\/P>

The son of Strategic Prince may be the fastest colt in the field and unless he offers a new dimension to his running style, he had better be the fastest if he intends on contending for victory. His form, while impressive and neat looking, suggests clearly that this guy isn\u2019t big on passing horses. He needs to be on the lead from what he shows to this point.<\/P>

Can he make the lead? I don\u2019t know, maybe the connections will decide to screw us all up anyway and try to take him off the pace. I have no idea how fast he covers the opening quarter mile, but, when you are a dueling second going four and a half furlongs, you almost have to assume that this guy is fast.<\/P>

I know Ransom Dancin can run. But yet, I still feel confident assuming that he won\u2019t win on Saturday, and isn\u2019t even a must use in exactas and trifectas. I probably would use him if at all possible, but he either needs to clear a fast field and then sustain and fend off a never ending barrage of assaults or he needs to completely change his running style and try something new. Either way, this doesn\u2019t look like the spot for him to shine.<\/P>

Like Brave Ulysses, Grand Land <\/B>is attempting to put a string of aberrantly poor performances behind him and get back to the days of the Grade I Feed The Children in which he rallied strong and late to finish third behind Brave Ulysses.<\/P>

Out of Breeder\u2019s Bowl Juvenile Filly winner and 2002 Champion Two-Year-Old Filly Land Slam<\/B>, Grand Land began his career like Brave Ulysses. A winner of two in his first two, Grand Land tasted defeat for the first time in the Grade II Vermont BB Juvenile, beaten by Misty Whisper<\/B>, who went on to finish third in the Grade II Darling Squash Futurity and then third in the Grade I Breeder\u2019s Bowl Juvenile. <\/P>

Grand Land, on the other hand, went to Wisconsin for the Stuck On Pye Memorial, which he won impressively before finishing third behind Brave Ulysses in the Feed The Children. At that point, Grand Land really looked like he may have a very bright future as a late running closer than routinely comes from last or nearly last to make a major splash on sprints.<\/P>

Naturally, he took advantage of the opportunity to try a route and unfortunately for him, it began a string of dismal efforts. After making no impact while finishing eleventh in the Grade II Darling Squash Futurity, his route debut, he was a lethargic third in a field of five in a one-mile minor stakes. <\/P>

Compelled to return to sprints, he appeared in Ireland for his most recent, the seven furlong Grade I Twinhollow Trainer Champion. That move was of little encouragement as Grand Land passed two horses, moving from thirteenth early to eleventh at the wire.<\/P>

So what gives? Is he going to bounce back now and be the one to come flying late and nail all of the early speed? Is he the one to rebound back to life, not his rival Brave Ulysses? Or is he like his mom – a hard hitting juvenile that tails off quickly?<\/P>

Another casualty of the Feed The Children, Sunset Cajun<\/B> is easily overlooked because of his few bad races. It\u2019s not entirely wise to rate him on the merits of his failures as his successes have been diametrically encouraging, and he seems less inclined than the others to find either a middle ground or an indicator suggesting which type of race he\u2019s inclined to unleash.<\/P>

Out of Bayou Cajun<\/B>, the son of Dehere is a half-brother to Sunset Mesa<\/B>, winner of the Grade I Florida Derby and runner-up in the Grade I Bluegrass Derby, Grade I Smackdown, and Grade I It\u2019s My Birthday. Overall, the Sky Mesa colt has won four of eighteen and earned over 1.6 million dollars, flourishing as a three-year-old.<\/P>

Sunset Cajun is one of the few that had a dismal race in the Feed The Children,\u00a0then stamped it with another bust in the Grade II Darling Squash the following month. He rebounded off the defeat in the route debut to turn way back to four and a half for the Grade III Breeder\u2019s Bowl Nightcap Youth Dirt Sprint, running an even race to pass tired horses and finish fifth.<\/P>

The abbreviated sprint set him up well for his next start at five and a half furlongs, the Hot Deputy Challenge, which despite his rocky record in recent months featured Sunset Cajun as the 4-5 headliner in the field of just four.<\/P>

Confidently ridden to the eighth pole, Jockey Jerry Benisz nearly fell off nearing the wire as he eked out a head win in the Hot Deputy. <\/P>

To his credit, he is a fast colt that isn\u2019t required to be in front. That gives him a little more credibility as potential winner than a few of his rivals deserve. He seems to be heading the right way, or at least, turning the ship away from what was clearly the wrong way. It\u2019s tough to be a big fan of his, but even tougher to be a compelling critic.<\/P>

Taking a big step up in class, George Jetson<\/B> exits consecutive wins after a pair of second place finishes to begin his career. <\/P>

By Golden Missile and out of the four-time winning Unbridled\u2019s Song mare Kayla\u2019s Song<\/B>, George Jetson exits a handy allowance level victory, preceded by a solid maiden win from which both the runner-up and third place finisher returned to win their next race. <\/P>

A veteran of just four races, three of those maiden events, it is impossible to get a gauge on George Jetson. None of his rivals in the allowance win were of any note at the time and none have since made any noise. The rivals that he faced in his first two maiden starts haven\u2019t panned out to be much more than maidens and maiden winners.<\/P>

Still, there is something to be said for the way that a horse runs. Regardless of what his defeated foes have not accomplished, this colt runs like a colt that has a future if he has the requisite talent. Not void of speed, but not in any hurry either, George Jetson bounds along strategically, narrowing the margin to the leader throughout before uncorking a strong finish to the wire.<\/P>

To this point, from a \u2018numbers\u2019 standpoint, he has continued to improve with each race. So while he is difficult to endorse from a number of class-related perspectives, someone more in key with playing figures could expect yet another numerical advance for George Jetson, thrusting him into the fray simply on a \u2018numbers\u2019 basis.<\/P>

Entering with impressive credentials, Jersey Mafia<\/B> boasts just one win from five starts, but three seconds, including runner-up finishes in both the Grade III Closest Friend Stakes and the Nijinsky Scooping Bonanza. <\/P>

Jersey Mafia is fast enough to have nearly wired a field of maidens going five-eighths in his debut, and then returned to do just that – wire a field of maidens going five-eighths. He also has the fortitude to carry his speed a long way, evidenced by the nose defeat in the Closest Friend after dueling from the gate.<\/P>

What happens if he doesn\u2019t make the lead? He didn\u2019t make the lead in his most recent, the Grade II Big Hill, and he raced close-up in third and finished slightly less close-up in fourth. Was that a good fourth or a bad fourth? <\/P>

People will point to the fact that it produced his best speed rating – 90. That really doesn\u2019t help me much, especially at this time of year when colts are maturing rapidly. Of course, the other spin is that he boosted his \u2018numbers\u2019 again in his most recent, leaving one to assume that another improved number could be forthcoming a la the George Jetson theory.<\/P>

I suspect that Jersey Mafia will not win. I suspect that he will run extremely well, punishing his top-end competition. He remains one of several that gives every impression that they absolutely need to be on the lead to have any chance at winning. Maybe he doesn\u2019t need the lead. Maybe he\u2019ll get an easy lead when the others take back. But there\u2019s only so much speculation that can factor into the equation and all evidence supports a frenzied early pace giving the advantage to someone\u00a0waiting to pounce.<\/P>

Two Punchy Ted <\/B>flopped in the Grade III Upper State Juvenile Stakes, his route debut, returning now to test his talent in the sprint ranks where he has shown success. In his first three career starts, all sprints, he was a debut winner, followed by a second place finish in the Surpassingly Hope and a win in the Over With Launch.<\/P>

A son of Osidy out of the Two Punch mare Punch Drunk T<\/B>, Two Punchy Ted has a lot to prove. While his win in the Over With Launch came at the expense of runner-up C Mee Run<\/B>, who has since returned to post a nice win in Maine\u2019s Seriously Operate Challenge, his resume suggests that he is in uncharted waters in terms of class depth.<\/P>

To his credit, he has a very viable, versatile running style that should enable him to work out a perfect trip from behind the speed. He may very well be good enough to tango with this group; this field should offer the ideal set-up and scenario to provide a benchmark for his role at this level.<\/P>

Reliable Clippetty Clop G<\/B> is unlike many of the others in this race in that he is a known quantity for the most part. While his performances fluctuate in terms of quality to some degree, the son of Future Storm is hard trying and dependable. With four wins and three third place finishes from eight starts, has won two minor stakes and finished third in three others.<\/P>

Still, the sense that one gets from his form is not that he seems poised to take the next leap into graded company, but rather that he\u2019s right at home in those little six, seven, and eight horse fields he\u2019s been in. Perhaps that\u2019s an erroneous assessment, but he did try graded foes in the Grade III Abstract Juvenile, one of which he faces on Saturday.<\/P>

Clippetty Clop G could win the race. Heck, there isn\u2019t a colt in here that I would look back in utter shock upon should it win on Saturday. But, he looks like he\u2019ll do just as he did in the Abstract – be honest enough to put forth a good effort to simply be a cut below the better horses and run mid-pack.<\/P>

Like Clippetty Clop G, Stealing Cindy <\/B>is an honest sort, a son of Noble Causeway out of the A. P. Indy mare West Cindy<\/B>. A five-furlong debut winner, Stealing Cindy churned out three good efforts in allowance company, the last of which registered a win.<\/P>

The transition to stakes company for his next start also marked the transition to route racing. At 5-1 in a field of seven for the Nijinsky Scooping Bonanza, Stealing Cindy trailed to the half-mile pole before edging increasingly closer to the wire and finishing third, beaten two lengths.<\/P>

Seven weeks later, he looked to be in a good spot in the Texas Justice Special at seven and a half furlongs. Instead, he simply languished throughout, plummeting farther out of contention with each passing pole. <\/P>

I think that I like this colt, but I can\u2019t find a role for him in this race. He seems like he has some ability, but never mind whether he wants to tangle with graded stakes horses, we haven\u2019t really settled on whether or not he wants to route or if he\u2019s better sprinting. I think that I\u2019d first like to know what he wants to do before seeing if he can tackle the best doing it.<\/P>

Handicapper\u2019s Corner:<\/P>

I will bet One Size Fits All to win. I\u2019m not a huge win bettor, but six to one is a very fair price, so let\u2019s slap a $20 win ticket on the six horse right away. We\u2019ll also key the aforementioned six horse in a dollar trifecta with Burnin Love, Goblin King, George Jetson, Brave Ulysses, and Adrastos in second, and the field for third. ($1 trifecta – 6 with 1,4,7,10,14 with ALL = $60).
