Mike Beer|Jun 13, 2016

Giovanna Blues
Trainer: Michael Dickinson
Last race: June 9, 4th
Finish: 2nd by 2
Beyer: 74

First time starter trailed the field to the top of the stretch before coming with a good late run to get up for second behind an impressive winner.

China Grove
Trainer: Ben Colebrook
Last race: June 9, 7th
Finish: 2nd by 2 3/4
Beyer: 69

Looked a solid winner in her debut while appearing to still have more to give, and improved upon that performance in the Astoria. She stumbled at the start and came wide with a good finish behind a front-running winner.

Preservationist
Trainer: James Jerkens
Last race: June 10, 1st
Finish: 2nd by 1 1/4
Beyer: 92

Well-bred first-time starter got bet and then proceeded to give game chase to an experienced rival in an effort that would have been good enough to win most maiden special weight races around here.
