Hope there is a rethink and they put Ollie's Candy in the FM Sprint at least as a 2nd preference

It may seem a little backwards but I actually think Gamine would have a better chance in the Distaff than in the FM Sprint. She reminds me of Lion Heart.

If Gamine was able to run as a 2yo, her career would likely have echoed Chilukki and Indian Blessing. Superior sprinters that were capable at a middle distance (less than 9f).
Lion Heart actually had the same profile. He could not see out a distance at 3 save on the conveyor belt at Monmouth against My Snookie Boy. He ran 1:09+ in his debut and 1:20+ for 7 furlongs in his first 2 starts, but never got a chance to sprint again because he was toast by the fall. |

Gamine is mediocre at two turns.

That's a ridiculous comment. She is better going shorter, but still better than almost every horse of her sex going long....and most males too.

Michael McCarthy with interesting preliminary decisions on ATR Tuesday for CE CE & SPEECH..
Ce Ce stretches out for the Distaff and Speech cuts back to the F&M Sprint..

Yep; is there some stalwart in the FM Sprint or is the Distaff a free-for-all now that Midnight Bisou is out?
Why would Ce Ce and Ollie's Candy not at least consider the FM Sprint as an alternative (should be the primary objective). Maybe the BC can solve this dilemma by creating a FM Dirt Mile? |

Conditions would more than likely be to order in a 7-furlong full field at Keeneland. |

NASHVILLE by-passes Sprint for the Perryville on undercard; BON RAISON gets in as a result..
FRANK'S ROCKETTE fully confirmed for Sprint..

Nothing says the 2020 dirt sprint division like Bon Raison getting into the field.

F&M SPRINT: Inthemidstofbiz out with fever
Marty McGee|@DRFMcGee: The @BreedersCup Filly and Mare Sprint (R4 Saturday) now down to 8 starters with the scratch of No. 4 Inthemidstofbiz, the G2 TCA winner who was 30-1 on the morning line. Slight fever. Speedy filly could've added to what already figures to be a swift early pace.

Not insignificant. Gives Velazquez a bit more room to operate early on with Gamine..

Curious why you think this helps Gamine. Do you see her outrunning Serengeti Empress early?

No. Just thought it gives Velazquez more room to operate.

Gamine is just good. Damn good. Track record in the easiest of manners.
