Re: GR I FrontRunner Stakes
Nyquist...he'll get tested today with a fast pace expected.
Swipe...his chances could improve around 2 turns.
Hollywood Don...Out of a half sister to Sun King (a multi-million dollar earner on dirt), might handle the switch to dirt?
On Fire...I made a comment above which was wrong. This 2YO is the only one in the race who's been 2 turns over a dirt course.

Re: GR I FrontRunner Stakes
Here's the finish:
Nyquist...dug in gamely to win and withstand Swipes run as well a an inquiry for the win.
Swipe...will be there when the distance gets testing, should turn the tables beyond a 1 1/16th.
Hollywood Don...ran well in his first try over the dirt.
Rare Candy...another tried the dirt for this.

Re: GR I FrontRunner Stakes
Nyquist is gutsy, but I cannot see him stretching out beyond 1 1/16 mile. I also don't trust O'Neill to develop a good 2-year-old far in life.
