  • medlocke · Hope Sadler still lets Sidney's Candy take his shot in the Breeders Cup Mile(Turf). He's the one American horse that has the physical size, strength, ability, and speed to run out on the front end with the likely European turf milers that are headed for Churchill Downs. If he can run 8-1/2 furlongs on turf like he was in a 6 furlong sprint. As he did setting a new Del Mar turf course record in his first ever start over the surface, winning the G2 La Jolla Handicap in romp. I believe Sidney's Candy can really bolt out of the gate at Churchill Downs, and make himself the one for Goldikova, Paco Boy, Canford Cliffs, or any of the rest of the Turf Mile contenders to have to catch.

  • Medlocke · Cowboy Cal's run in the Oak Tree Mile was maybe one of the most impressive performances of all the Grade 1 races on Saturday. Going wire to wire against a field of quality horses with a number of Grade 1 wins there selves. Global Hunter tried making a run and Whatsthescript also coming late, to hold them off in the stretch after leading the whole race, he's got my attention for the Breeder's Cup Sprint or The Dirt Mile, which ever he decides to run in. · 961 days ago ·
