Personally, I beleive Henny Hughes will prove to be the most effective at 6 panels...I really do...I don't care how far he went as a 2YO....if he loses the King's Bishop it will be due to yielding to a bona fide 7 panel horse like Too Much Bling after scrapping it out early with Songster and Fabulous Strike....I still think he wins because I really believe that he is simply faster and more talented than this good 3yo sprint division.....the reason I like him for the BC Sprint is because I really think he developes in 2 or 3 more starts before the that race and will prove to be the best 6 furlong performer in the country along with older horses like Lost in the Fog, Bordonero and Anew.....I think he has more raw talent than the top older horses I mentioned, so that is why I think he can get the job doen in the BC....we'll see....

I think he can get 7 or 8 but is easily the best at 6-61/2.
But he did finish ahead of Too much bling in the champagne and the hopefull last year so don't count him out aginst that horse at longer distances. I realize that a lot can change in a year and TMB may have been immature etc. but Henny has ALSO matured a lot this winter! I just think he is a better horse (biased of course.)
I really want to see him keep sprinting but they probably want to vary his distances to pad his stud value, we'll see.
