I thought Great Notion would have been a good sleeper play in the Breeders Cup Sprint, but then I looked at tomorrows entries at Keeneland and there his name was, tackling older horses like Beaus Town among others. If he were to run in the Sprint it would be back on three weeks rest after a cross country ship, not for me.

This horse seemed like he could be the speed of the speed, if you saw his race in the King Bishop you know what I mean. One thing that is missing this year in the Sprint is the super fast filly like we have seen in the past. At least ten of the Cup Sprints have had the following five fillies run twice each: Pine Tree Lane, Very Subtle, Safely Kept, Meafara and Xtra Heat. What’s the significance?

They could all out break the colts and get to the top first.

Don’t see it this year so this would have been a great spot for Great Notion but not if he runs tomorrow. An interesting side note to this horse is he was the topic of a post on this Board: “No Works No Problem” last November. Seems when he made his first career start at CD he ran with no published works, won and paid $40.00.

I see where Bob Baffert is touting Congaree for the Classic so with him out of the Sprint this race is wide open.
