Lost Aptitude's last two figures (93) not only tower over this field - but they also rate favorably with a very good group of horses who've won this race over the decade.

Only Barbaro's 97 and Lord Robyn's 95 (when he got loose early and sprinted off to an almost 5 length win) are faster.

I'd like to see him and Interactif hook up.

2009 Didn't run this race
2008 Cowboy Cal 93
2007 Soldier's Dancer over Sedgefield and Storm in May 93
2006 Barbaro 97

2004 Kitten's Joy 91
2003 Nothing to Lose 90
2002 Didn't run this race
2001 Proud Man 88
2000 Go Lib Go over Mr. Livingston 91

Interactif had his first work today since the BC. Perhaps they will meet in the Hallendale or Palm Beach....there certainly are not many options for a top class 3 year old turf horse until the summer.

There are now - Synthetic races.

Hmm I guess they didn't enter Lentenor after all. Mr. Jackson said he might be going there but he wasn't sure and told Bloodhorse to ask Matz who wasn't available at the time. He supposedly is ready to go, it's just a question of how soon they can find something.

Shouldn't Letenor bother winning a maiden race first before throwing him to Lost Aptitude?
