He ran so big Trevor is expecting him to stop @ the end, almost allowing for it in his call. Smiling Tiger for his effort is gonna sleep well tonight. Baffert says he came back not even winded after the race....
Hell of an effort by The Factor, and i too was surprised by the price. He didn't even go favored.
Question for the board. It seems to make perfect sense that The Factor would be pointed to the BC Sprint, butr with Baffert already having Euroears pointed to that race, and The Factor now owning a couple of big wins @ 7 furlongs plus his impressive win in the two-turn Rebel, is there any chance that Baffert would just ain The Factor at the Dirt Mile? Especially considering that both Euroears and The Factor are both committed frontrunners...
If you guys hear anything regarding that, please let me know.

While it makes absolute sense, I think the issue that will arise deals with the owners. It can't be easy telling the owners that he should go in a race worth $1 million less and less notoriety when they retire him for breeding.
