| Fabulous Strike tough on NY dirt
Set to oppose him in the 70th running of the six-furlong Vosburgh are Kodiak Kowboy, Go Go Shoot, Munnings, and Peace Chant.
Fabulous Strike won the 2007 Vosburgh in a laugher off an 85-day layoff and would be shooting for an unprecedented third win had he not come up a head short in the slop last year.
"He lost in a photo last year when he flipped a shoe off," trainer Todd Beattie said.
Fabulous Strike ran fifth in last year's BC Sprint, recording his lowest Beyer Speed Figure in the past two years.
"I don't think he's quite as good on the synthetic, in my own personal opinion," Beattie said. "I just think he never really got on track there. He didn't have the same kind of speed. I would be willing to run against [Zensational], I just would prefer it to be on dirt.

"When you're running that fast you have to think about it a couple strides before that," Berkman said. "I felt like I would get there just as quick and I could get my foot in there. He did a good job of blocking the plate. He stuck his leg in the front. I felt like I got my foot down at the front of the plate, but it's impossible to tell running full speed." Tejada got the Astros started in the sixth with a leadoff single to right. One out later, Carlos Lee singled up the middle. Pence followed with an RBI double off the left field wall to take a 2-1 lead. Keppinger added an RBI groundout to short to go ahead 3-1. With one out in the bottom of the sixth, Shane Victorino hit a dribbler down the first base line, catching a break when the ball hit the bag and took an awkward bounce to deflect off Berkman's glove for a double.
