let\'s look at SNS\'s closing fractions:

dec 21 - 6f, final 1/8 in :11.4
jan 7  - 6f, final 1/8 in :11.4
feb 4  - 8f, final 1/4 in :24.3
mar 18 - 8.5f, final 3/8 approx :30.3
april 8 - 9f, final 1/8 in :12.1

raw times like these can be misleading. surface, wind, and other factors come into play. you could argue, however, that the variables involved in SNS\'s races actually make his closing fractions look BETTER.

i like the way this guy has developed as he has stretched out.

waiting for the TG figs, but after looking at the derby contender\'s pp\'s briefly, i make SNS the most likely colt to run a fast 10f.

SNS is my early key.

He is a Super Fast horse. The only problem is what running style will he apply on derby day. I\'ve looked over his Rag\'s sheet and he is 2nd fastest with his last huge but the best back numbers to help if he bounces.
