Plenty of talk everywhere about Henny. I think he's very good and the most likely winner but I'm less impressed than most and he's vulnerable tomorrow at 4/5 from a poor post with what I see as a lot of speed in the race.

I've watched about 3 dozen replays of horses in this race. I do not see how Mach Ride does not run well tomorrow. His Calder run was by far the best speed effort at the Summit and Bling would be co-2nd favorite if he ran in this race. The CB went slighly faster than the Smile for older horses and Mach had to run up hard on the rail after missing the start by a half step.

At 6-1, he's my play. 8-1 brings out the max bet. He'll also be my p-3 and p-4 single.

good luck.... it looks like a great day of racing if the weather holds.

I liked him too STS. He looks like he can sit off a fast pace and catch them. He is one of my picks for the race. Him and Court Folly.

Agreed. People have annoited Henny as the best sprinter and he will have to prove it to me.

Very ironic that Castellano rides Mach Ride in here and hes the #10.

A few days ago Castellano rode a horse named Mach One to victory and he was the #10.

Hows that for a hunch ?

Henny has looked nice after he shortened up but the only reason he is sprinting is because he couldnt keep up with the quality routers this year. The real sprinter will get him in the end.

Several Sprint champions (like Orientate), have taken that path.. If you think HH and Songster are going to be life and death on the front end..what's wrong with Court Folly..one more time.

I saw that race.. it was Mach Three though, not Mach One( I guess this guy is a little faster )

Durkin kept making that mistake, calling him Mach One all down the stretch.. LOL!

I think Songster gets another perfect set up tommorow. He draws outside of HH and will be able to work a nice stalking trip off a quick pace and should get first run at the front runners along with the 10 horse.
