this is IMHO hands down the most competive grade 2 of the year and the best non BC sprint I've ever seen.

there is some real talent in this race. In summation,, Arson Squad, Lewis Michael and Barbecue Eddie are all good horses, and BTW the defending sprint champion is making his debut for 2008 in the race.

I'm going to go with IN Summation. I want lute to win it but I have never seen him run on a non dirt track and considering Baffert shipped him across the country last year to not run on it, i'll pass

agreed on In Summation as I think Street Boss has the advantage & may be the horse to beat in the BC & InS would have been right there in the Bing Crosby had he not been blocked in the stretch.

I'm glad Lewis Michael won another graded stks. One would think he'd make a great one-turn miler, given his results at 7f and in the Peter Pan ...
