Too Much Bling - I am 100%
Behind this horse. I am sitting here writing in the post positions in my form and come across this horse. So, I scan down and my eyes jump out of socket. 2 things......................................
Was trained by Timothy Hamm who is a real nice guy, local trainer in the Ohio, Northern Kentucky region This horse broke it's maiden at Thistle! Right after that 19 1/2 length romp, goes to Baffert. Love this horse, can't believe I did not know this. All OVER THE Hometown horse baby!

I'd like to see him win and will be using him up top at hopefully a nice price.
Was it Gomez's ride aboard him in the Woody Stephens that was labeled a 'botched abortion' by someone on here? That sure was brutal!

Had him on bottom of exotics with HH Pomeroy Thor's Echo up top but after the Post he just shot up to the TOP!! Hope can get a nice 7/1 8/1 on him
Thor's Echo draws the rail WOW what a shame HH gets the #4 and even makes it worse gets stuck inbetween prolly the 2 longshots, however should get enough speed to get away OK Another horse that got some trouble is the horse for the course, Kelly's Landing. Will be at least 5 wide goin into the turn hopefully can get up to hit 4th and make the Super even nicer

Songster was the better btwn the 2.
his trainer did not think he could win I guess. appearantly Baffert thinks he can. or maybe he just wants to run horses in the BC. no matter the reasons, I dont see him being fast enough. very fast, but not Bord or HH fast. Repent

There is a lot to like about Too Much Bling. He's 3-4 in races under 7f. He can battle for the lead through quick fractions (1st by a head in 21 3/5 in the San Vicente....2nd by a head in 44 in the Carry Back) or he can sit behind the speed and rate (nearly three back after a 43 4/5 half in the San Miguel). And I know Baffert usually works them fast but among his last five works, he shows a 1:11 2/5, a 57 flag (gate), and a 1:10 2/5 (gate). This horse is set to give his best and has to be included in the exotics. Also, it's worth noting that when he and Henny Hughes faced each other in the Hopeful last year, they were in a virtual deadlock at the 6f mark of that 7f race. There are a lot of positives with him. The negative is of course the layoff. Also, u have to wonder which style they are going to employ here. Do they gun for the lead since he has 21 3/5 type speed? What happens though when they do that and horses like Bordonaro and Thor's Echo are right there with him? That will be different than battling head and head with the cheap horses he has been battling. And if they try to rate, again, u know that Bordonaro is not going to be coming back to him in the lane. He'll have to go get him and I don't know if he's going to outkick Henny Hughes, Pomeroy, and Siren Lure. I'd feel better if he was the fastest of the speed and I knew he was the one to catch or if I knew he was the best closer in the field. But he's neither and I think it's all going to add up to him just not being good enough to win this.

Well, Bling could have run 107'4 in his comeback race in the San Miguel.Gomez didn't ride him out hard in that stretch.He just exploded away from them,and then Garrett wrapped him up .He can win it if Baffert has him that good again.Baffert's horses are usually best when fresh.It's just that they usually don't pay anything.Bordonaro and H.H. are equally fast,and if either one simply runs their normal race,then TMB has to run his best race(I think they are looking for exactly that.)

I dont think TMB has much of a shot here. Horse never has won a Grade I event. In fact, he has never been in the money in a Grade I. That tells me that the connections do not think he is really Grade I company or they would have been shooting for them. I do not like the layoff at all even though TMB has been working well. I think he will be a little short. TMB does have the right running style to win the sprint but there are too many other horses to consider. Only think to get excited about is Baffert. Big money trainers win big money races.
Bordornaro is a bet against IMO as well. It appears he needs some time off to be effective. Races in Jan, Apr, Jly and Oct. That is a couple months layoff between starts. This is the 2nd time in his career that he will race twice in less than 30 days. After that 119 beyer I think we are looking at a bounce. Henny Hughes, Simon Lure and War Front are my choices.

Well when he ran against Songster he was trapped down on the rail and couldn't overcome much trouble at all. This race is a crap shoot and he has a lot of run in him but i thnk others have more.
