What the Nation is saying about Fast Bullet...

Fast Bullet

When working at Pimlico today; a group of us handicappers reviewed the past performances of 6/8/13 races. I noticed something of Fast Bullet I did not before. When reviewing his pars it came immediate that Fast Bullet liked to sit off the slower type pace, even though he had a quick E2, but a lower LP. Interesting, huh? Yet, he still won and he is improving. The pattern I have mentioned several times on this website (on my handicapping threads).. "ALL" horses going into form become more SUSTAINED, whil horses going out of form become EARLIER. However, Fast Bullet is the complete opposite. Fast Bullet, of course, is getting earlier as mentioned but also sustaining the same late kick. I think Bob Baffert's quarterhorse experience MIGHT have played a role in Fast Bullet's VERY GOOD pace improvement and early speed to late speed transition and energy distribution. The group at the track noticed this and put Fast Bullet's name on our bulletin board (any entrant worth watching) and we're definitely going heavy on him IF we get the right odds/ set up. Fast Bullet is looking very good in the sprint division and is the very early favorite for the BC Sprint. WATCH OUT for him and hope he stays healthy considering he is a big horse and the fragile sort.

rafirox · Good for you, Jmac. Fast Bullet has unlimited potential and is FAR more talented than the other sprinters in the division. Sahara Sky is pretty damn good as #2. Cross Traffic is a very good racehorse with LOTS of potential, my question is if they'll put him in Sprints? Or a mile race? · 8 days ago ·

LAZMANNICK · IMO, Fast Bullet really is the real deal. Five years old and only five lifetime starts and his only loss in the BC Sprint when he got stuck behind an ultra-fast 4F on a speed biased track. The sprint division is really shaping up and could be one of the deepest of all divisions by year’s end……Delaunay certainly belongs at the top of the division at this time. He kind of reminds me of the ’98 BC Sprint winner, Reraise, who started his career as a maiden claimer and won 8 of 9 lifetime, including that BC which included Affirmed Success and Kona Gold. · 8 days ago ·

icyhotboo · Bejarno sent him too, but couldn't get it as FL beat him out of the gate and cut him off. Before the first turn he was sitting pretty in the garden spot but his problem was at the 3/4 when he eyeballed MMM he folded as at that point MMM was also starting to make his move. I was always curios why one of the 5 top eastern older horses didn't go west earlier and pick up the easy money GOD was gobbling up. To blame the horse or the jockey is sour grapes. GOD came and gave his all, so did Bejarno. Bob B. is to old to start playing the blame game. It's not entirely his fault. The psychological effect's of the first heart attack on some one who survives can be devastating. Coming that close to your maker is a an awesome experience not to be under estimated. You just don't pick up and go on as though nothing happend because now you actual have first hand knowledge of what it's like to look into the abyss. Until you come to terms with that you're not going to be who you were. · 225 days ago ·

forego139 · No question Game On Dudes best asset is his speed and once Bejarano didn't send him I knew the race was over for him. The winner Fort Larned was just awesome, being by Arlucia who is by Bayakoa, the one who ran Go For Wand into the ground, was all class out there and took no prisoners as did Mucho Macho Man who once again put in his customary run and just could not get by the winner, very exciting race. Very happy for Mrs Whitman who has been in the game with her late husband for many years and it was a much deserved win and I'm sure we haven't seen the last of her good runners. Wise Dan was no question in Horse Of The Year form and should be HOTY after breaking the track record in style. Bejarano was riding like an apprentice out there and alot of it had to do with "Say it ain't so Joe Talamo" just running amuck out at Santa Anita and winning the riding title. All in all Bafferts horse's did receive horrible rides and cost at least Excecutivepriveledge and Game On Dude a shot at winning. Baffert should go back to being the Dynamic Duo with Martin Garcia with whom they both had alot of success in the past and Garcia is an aggressive rider which Baffert needed on B.C. Friday and Sat. · 225 days ago ·

Peppermint Paddy · Blaming the jock is about the weakest excuse the game has ever seen. Rafael had nothing to do with Baffert's poor preparation of GOD and all the other losers. Mucho Macho Man stands about 17hands/1200lbs vs. Game on Dude 15.2 not 1200 who had hardly faced competition this year aside from Dubai and if you consider Dullahan's synthetic BS...People just can't admit that he was more than obviously out-classed in the Classic. Why hasn't anyone put the blame Talamo for not sending Fed Biz. Bejarano won on Fed Biz before, and was sent early. These are ridiculous accustions, and they are doing nothing more than bashing a great rider. I just spent all weekend with Jerry Truman(former jockey late 50's, brother to Eddie Truman(trainer), and Jerry spot on said Rafael is a great rider, and a gentleman, which is why he is where he is. So again, NONE OF BAFFERTS HORSES RAN UP TO PAR! Quit blaming the jock. Garcia v RB...sure, choose the excessive whipper over the calm and collected cool hands - u're a fn joke! · 225 days ago ·

Southern.Humor · ^ You do know that the jocky has absolutly no control of how the horse come out of the gate right? No mtter what they do the horse is going to do what he wants to coming out. I think the horse just gave out on him. Stop blaming the Jockey for something he had no control over. If he had made a mistake in the stretch than perhaps some of the blame could be placed on RB. As it is, I think 99% of the blame just goes to the horse. The only chance he had was breaking from the gate well, and he didn't. The other 1 % goes to the trainers/ owner for putting a horse in the race that was highly over classed. · 225 days ago ·

rafirox · Southern Humor, jocks CAN control how they come out. For example, RAJIV MARAGH is FANTASTIC at hustling his horses out of the gate, he is fantastic at getting early positioning. So, Rafael, COULD HAVE got him to the lead after his slow start, but if he did Dude didn't respond, and if he didn't that is why the Dude wasn't on the lead. Southern Humor, those last statements are a absolute joke right????? 1st of all, the horse does not carry 99 percent of the blame. 2nd of all: So, if the trainer and owner sent him in a TOO HARD AND CLASSY race for him, where would you have put the dude BC day? So, according to your logic, Seabiscuit's HORRENDOUS two year old year was 99 percent his fault? NO. It was improper training that made him a loser, until great horsemen Tom Smith took over, then Seabiscuit was an unheard of champion. Almost your you entire post is FALSE statements. · 224 days ago ·

icyhotboo · rafirox, I would suggest you look at some U-Tube clips of Ruffian and Rach Alexandra. No horse ever best them out of the gate of any gender. That initial burst they both had was worth 2/3 lengths. Then watch all of Fort Larned's he wasn't beaten out of the gate either. Unfortunately GOD was in with him and Fort Larned took him out of his game, which is how you win in any field of endeavor. · 224 days ago ·

Like RAJIV MARAGH AND PAT V. Nowadays, many trainers, owner, and jockeys don't use that strategy. Back in the olden days, horses were often WHIPPED out of the gate. If you don't believe me, watch Seabiscuit online. And I have read books and articles that suggest that was a very popular strategy. I can assure you, no horse is WHIPPED out of the gate, but msny are HUSTLED out. · 224 days ago ·

After the race, they SHOWED JOHNNY V TAP HIM, on video.

The last thing on earth the horse is thinking about at that makes the jockey ineffective. Which is why we continuely see horses that break well from the gate, and those that do not. The gate was designed to give no rider an advantage from the start - and it does just that. · 224 days ago ·
