This is one fast son of a gun. He was clocked this morning at Del Mar in 57.00 BREEZING for 5 furlongs. Impressive!!!!!!

This one is an absolute freak..if they can keep him in one piece, he will win the BC Sprint by 5 lengths..

nice horse no doubt but its hard for me to forget how he melted under pressure in one of his races. i wont have him in the bc sprint unless the race comes up extremely weak

The only time Zensational "melted under pressure" was when his connections tried to stretch him out around two turns. He went 43 and change for the half and got tired in the stretch. All of his sprint have been very good, both visually and speed figure-wise.

My bad - I thought winning two Grade 1 races in a row was very good. You are right, this horse does run rank and most times rank horses stop in the stretch. The fact that this horse runs rank and STILL wins Grade 1 races is a tribute to how good he is!

Running rank and winning could be that he is that good...or what he is beating is that bad. I personally think he is pretty good. Eventually it will bite him in the a%(*()* though...maybe.

he doesnt have the right style to win the bc sprint. i hope he wins everything leading up to it and goes off 3to5 so i can gwet a nice hit on the winner. just like lost in the fog i used 3 horses in the race and he wasnt on my ticket.

A horse with cancer up and down his spine definitely has the wrong style of running for a BC!
America must have the highest "goofs per capita" rating of any nation outside Antarctica.
