The third race on the British Columbia Equinics card is the Grade I� Loot Your Booty Special. The race is open to 3yo Colts going 6 furlongs on the turf. Let�s take a closer looks at this star studded field, representing the best residencies throughout Simulated Sports.
�
1)����� Mean Dice (EAAA) 10/1-� Fast on the Gas, a very real threat to lead these from gate to wire and grab gold. Trained by one of the best trainers in the game.
2)����� Scattered Cash (East-West) 11/1- Rodpiper and the gang over at East/West hope to scatter the mutual windows with cash. Pace will set up great for his powerful closing kick, could get up in the final strides.
3)����� Hernando�s War (Great Plains) 6/1- Is another that�s fast on the gas, could set up a serious speed dual up front.� Hopes to out dual Mean Dice and then hang on.� In with a chance.
4)����� Isle of Capri (Comedy Central) 8/1- There�s no joke about this entry.� He should stalk the speed dual and then hope to pounce in the stretch. Gossett aboard only increases his chances.
5)����� The Kiwi Monte (MIDAS) 37/1-Hails from a top-notch down under sire. Should enjoy the cutback and hope to upset. I wouldn�t bet against Monte playing cards!
6)����� Greenfromeartoear(NWRC) 26/1-Dsanders will be sporting a huge grin if this guy upsets at 26-1!� Has improved in his last 4 starts and scored impressively in his 3yo debut.� Might be more of a 7f type though.
7)����� Valentine Prayer (Minnesota Downs) 19/1- Well it is Valentine�s weekend and he�s 19-1, need I say more?� Hails from an outstanding barn in Pazjazz.� Will stalk the pace and hope to roll when it�s running time.
8)����� Sparky�s Machine(URC) 23/1- Here comes Sparky!� Every time I look this trainer is turning out nice horses. Sparky might be better suited for route races, but not without a chance of hitting the board here.
9)����� Blowout Thecandles (Vermont) 14/1- Turn out the lights and blow out the candles, today it�s your birthday. Flashy colt out of Forestry looks to add to the medal tally for Vermont. Ambitiously placed throughout his career, intriguing price in this spot.
10)� Albert�s Muffy (Blazing Saddles) 16/1-Blazing Saddles is looking to make a big splash in the 2010 Equinics.� Will be another that adds to a hot early pace.� Already a graded winner could upset the big boys here.
11)� Lewis West(Ireland) 25/1- 2 for 2 colt out of Lewis Michael looks to make his graded debut in royal fashion.� Has shown an affinity for turf with a powerful closing kick.� Only real question is the class hike, but certainly worth a stronger look.
12)� Sakhee Royal (Alpine Turf Club) 44/1- Longest priced horse in the field comes from the ATC.� Will gain invaluable experience in this spot and improve further down the road.� I really like the breeding on this colt and he might improve leaps and bound on the dirt.
13)� Grunewald (GR Simsters) 11/1-Simsters are out looking for blood and this colt might be the one to get the job done.� Should have enough speed and class to sit in the garden spot and be able to roll come running time.� Have to think he�ll hit the board and might be the play at 11-1
14)� Eurus (Sim Hispano) 13/1-This cat will be flying from way downtown!� He should get the needed speed dual upfront, so it likely will come down to what type of trip he�ll get.� Could really appreciate the cutback in trip.
15)� Guitar (Delpenn) 9/1- Hails from the almighty Super stables and defending Equinics champs, Delpenn.� Should likely sit in the 2nd tier of horses and hope Caves pushes the button at the right time.� Graded company could be his undoing, but he did place in graded company as a 2yo.
16)� Primo Prado (Benelux) 21/1-Lightly raced 3yo colt looks to have a bright future. Has won 3 of his first 4 races. Will have to overcome class hike and large field, but wouldn�t shock with a medal placing.
17)� Gonewestyoungman (Hong Kong Racing Club) 22/1- Son of world class sire, Anabaa, one of the best sons of Danzig standing at stud today. Would be a surprise in this spot, but the cutback in distance can only help his cause.� Only a matter of time before the young residency over at HKRC starts to churn out graded winners.
18)� Lucky�s Einstein (Ohio) 16/1-Could upset at a BIG price!� Will love the cutback to sprinting and taking a closer look, he really loves 6 furlongs.� Wouldn�t be a shock at all to see him hit the board.
19)� Midnight General (Queensland) 10/1-Comes off a hot 3yo debut race LTO,hammering out a real nice speed figure.� Wouldn�t disregard off a spotty 2yo record, especially if the change in tactics stays in play.� Much better coming from off the pace LTO, and will need those tactics in this spot.
