Awesome threesome squares off in LeVine

Three white-hot horses who have combined to win 14 of their last 16 starts are among 10 evenly matched older runners in Saturday's $100,000 Donald LeVine Memorial Handicap, the first stakes of the season at Philadelphia Park.

Forest Park, a 4-year-old who has lost only once in his career, and Busted Trust, who has reeled off four straight wins since beginning the year racing against $6,250 conditioned claimers, are both making their stakes debut in the seven-furlong LeVine.

Another ex-claimer, the Florida shipper Toscani, has lost only once in the past year. He managed to finish second in a stakes at Calder last time out despite breaking in the air.

Forest Park and Toscani are both front-runners.

Forest Park, 2 for 2 at Philly Park, is cross-entered in Saturday's Ben Cohen, a turf sprint stakes at Pimlico, and could run there if that race comes off the grass.

Busted Trust has gone from running Beyer Speed Figures in the 60's in February to upper 90's in his last two starts. Like Forest Park, Busted Trust is a horse for the course, having won 3 of 4 starts over Philly's main track.

The dangerous back-class horses are the 7-year-old Polish Pride and the 5-year-old Jets Fan.

Polish Pride, a winner of 11 of 28 starts and nearly $300,000 lifetime, won an overnight stakes at Delaware Park two weeks ago.

Jets Fan, based in New York with Mike Hushion, won a minor stakes at Golden Gate Fields in February 2004. He makes the third start of his form cycle after nearly wiring a group of high-priced optional claimers going a mile at Aqueduct.
