  • cigar · Interesting now as Kodiak has 3 sprinting G1's... if you count the Cigar Mile... Zensational does too... does Kodiak Kowboy get some love for top sprinter of the year with Zensational completely exposed in the BC? · 278 days ago
Vineyard Haven quickly became one of the top sprinters this summer/fall with wins in the King's Bishop and DeFrancis Dash.

  • Medlocke · I saw the King's Bishop Stakes, waiting in preparation for the Travers. I know the stewards had no choice but to disqualify Vineyard Haven in the race because the contact was so flagrant. But even if no contact had occurred in the race, I'm not sure that Captain Candyman Can was going to quite get up to beat Vineyard Haven. I think Vineyard Haven was going to win the race. · 311 days ago
