Race 8 on the card for Saturday Breeders Cup day is the Sprint going 6 furlongs. A great 15 horse field, or less with the scratch of Vekoma with a fever. I think if Vekoma is in this race he wins, now he's out its wide open.

A 3 year old son of Uncle Mo (Indian Charlie) comes in here undefeated and has to majorly needs to step up here to get the win. Definitely has the speed to challenge for the win and should try to get to the lead early. Posting huge speed figures in his last 3 starts are a positive for this horse in a 6 furlong race and will be close to post time favorite.

8th in BC Dirt Mile in 2019
A 5 year old gelding out of Lookin at Lucky (Smart Strike) posted a monster 102 speed figure in his last effort at Keeneland. Looks to be in great form for this sprint with his workouts posted the past week. Seems to have had an up and down career, but has been the best in his last 2 starts and looks great in the spot for this BC race.
