What do you guys make of Benny?
He looks like the class of the field to me, his four works this year are all sharp, and there should be enough speed to set it up for him.

Tri
Mach Ride with Benny the Bull/Cobalt Blue with Finallymadeit/Benny the Bull/Cobalt Blue

I spent all of 60 secs on it and Mach Ride looks like a standout to me too. Perhaps I will change my mind when I look at it more on Friday.

You dont think Bushwacker will be a pace factor?

3-1 would be a gift.

I think Cannon Shell is right. I think the outside horse is certainly going to go for the lead.
Speaking of that one, he is quite the workout horse isn't he? You don't often see eight straight bullets that are:
1/16
1/40
1/102
1/19
1/18
1/31
1/40
1/72

I pretty much agree with everything said thus far and was getting to copy Lava's post and say same for me...then I looked again, and I know I'm crazy but if Mr. Umphrey runs his best, he'll be there.

Why? Well, right or wrong I like to look at times run from 4f to 6f and he's got two sub 24 second times, one at a route race. No one else has that and if the pace is strong and the leaders burn each other out, even a little, and he's got run at the end, then he's got a shot.

Am I crazy?...oh, I already said I was.

Bushwacker's post is too far outside to make the lead, he really likes too rub the rail for his best running.

I too was looking at Mr. Umphrey.. Really looks capable of pulling an upset to me in this. Just has two nice bullets to tighten him up as well. I will be putting him in my tri's for sure.

TheSpyder · #15 01-24-2008, 08:03 AM

Glad to know I'm not the only crazy one here!

You're not being a dick, you're trying to be helpful, as obviously Mr. Umphrey is completely uncompetitive, and only entered as a precautionary rabbit for Benny the Bull.

I completely agree that Bushwacker has no shot at winning the race, and is unlikely to hit the board.
But I still think he will be a pace factor. What else can he do? He always just runs the opening half in :44 1/5 and trys to hang on.

For what it's worth, and I tend to agree with all of this post, when Bushwacker finished a terrific third to Bordonaro in this race at Gulfstream two years ago, he was coming off a strikingly similar prep in California, just one day different from the one he has this year. Let me also add that Bushwacker had post 11 at Gulfstream that year as well.
