PRIZE TAKER
Trainer: Charlton Baker
Last race: Jan. 25, 7th
Finish: 4th by 4 3/4
Beyer: 60
Off a beat slow, raced three wide around the far turn, and rallied mildly against the grain of a strong inside speed bias. Can contend under first-level New York-bred conditions with more favorable circumstances.

SUPER NICKY
Trainer: Jeremiah Englehart
Last race: Jan. 26, 6th
Finish: 3rd by 5 1//4
Beyer: 54
First-time starter was bet to 4-1 in a field of 10, and chased wide against a bias-aided winner from the outset before getting edged late for the runner-up spot in a promising performance.

BEELINER
Trainer: Joseph Mazza
Last race: Jan. 27, 5th
Finish: 4th by 3 1/4
Beyer: 80
Wasn’t expected to show much as a 41-1 outsider in a starter allowance, but finished willingly despite some stretch traffic, earning a new top figure.
