    Hounded through an insane pace, Sidney’s Candy and kamikaze speedball Macias went head-and-head and opened up 16 lengths, a scorching half-mile in 45.81 seconds.

    Macias gave up passing the three-eighths, and was so tired after the race that he was vanned off due to exhaustion.

    I just saw that Sidney's Candy received a 102 Beyer. You have got to be kidding me. Just goes to show you how much those things are worth (for about the millionth time).

    I heard he has trained like a BEAST from that last race. Expect a good performance not a great performance since we are only 4 weeks out to the BC Mile.

    Well well, Sidney's Candy back on grass today. Should be really fun to watch, though i can't imagine he'll be playable.

    Take a look at the similarities here. Last summer, he came off a layoff on the main track @ Hollywood, set a moderate pace, but then tired late to finish second. He then switched to grass for a one-mile turf race, and BOOM! Nearly the exact same scenario here. He faces a much tougher field in this race than he did in the LaJolla last year, but if he can somehow repeat that effort today, he wins, obviously. It'll also be interesting to see how far clear he can get, as he'll be chased today by the speedy geldings Liberian Freighter and Ryehill Dreamer.

    Another huge effort today? What do you guys think?

    Pretty big effort by Sidney's Candy today, as expected. He got nosed on the wire by Ryehill Dreamer, but he left his pace challenger Liberian Freighter in the dust, and kept right on going to the wire in very fast time. Great race.
