Just opened up tomorrow's Form and I see they have Flying Dash listed at 2 to 5! Every once in a great while you see a horse go off that low but they usually are listed at 4-5 or 1-1 in the Form or the morning line. Sorry, he could win but at 2 to 5, he definitely is not worth a bet. This horse has run past 6f one time and on firm turf exactly once. He ran a 103 Beyer in his U.S. debut but the Beyer #s are more reliable on the dirt than the grass. Drysdale and Espinoza figure to further depress the odds. While chances are good he wins, I'll take a shot with Portcullis. I saw his last race at Kee and it was very impressive visually. His Beyer # number is nowhere near as good but he was forced and pushed so wide on the 2nd turn, I'm shocked he ran as good as he did. The Form said 7 wide but I'd say closer to 10 wide entering the stretch. Yet he still got up to win. Any kind of trip and his number improves significantly.
