Yes Class,

The \"problem\" with the Sprint is that it SHOULD be an opportunity to bet against LITF as an underpriced favorite, with only moderate figures.  However, there is almost zero quality speed in the sprint.  Who exactly are the quick horses that will run early with LITF?  (He will be saving ground on the lead through relatively moderate fractions for a BC Sprint race).

Where are Meafara or Groovy or Safely Kept?

Unfortunately, Jimbo, no babes in the Sprint at all this year. They\'ve provided some great moments in the Sprint-- Very Subtle, Desert Stormer, Meafara, Safely Kept, and if my short term memory doesn\'t fail me, a very valiant Xtra Heat.


There aren\'t any high quality one dimensional speeds in the Sprint to challenge LITF, but I think there are enough quality pressers to ensure an honest pace. If someone did go crazy on the lead though, LITF does have that one 7F race in the Swale where he rated just off the pace and ran well. I don\'t think he will beat himself. Someone is going to have to outrun him. I think there\'s a few high quality horses in the race, but 6F is going to make it tough on them.
