Race 2 Stormy Dan No factor in either start while going to post at high odds but he makes the all-important descent from special weights; his sire was a G1 winner who banked 441K; the dam won 8 of 31 attempts and 134K; winning siblings include 350K earner Dani's Storm. Life At Sea Deceptive first effort when claimed, making up late ground while on a very wide path; his sire won multiple G1s and 2.76 million; the dam won 1 of 4 and 13K; sib to G1 victor Graydar who amassed 841K. Key for Success He did not fire in his maiden voyage of a week ago; his sire was a G1 winner on the turf who captured 1.09 million; the dam won 6 of 36 and 143K; there are no winning siblings to mention; a generous price on the board once again. Wholedifferentgig Newcomer hails from G1 type Political Force who garnered 607K and whose offspring have won 9 of 93 debuts; the dam was without a tally in 11 tries; among the winning sibs is 201K earner Alameda King; modest breeze pattern on view. Athens This colt was involved in a long pace battle in his first try around 2 turns and faded; note he was favored in his last sprint try and before that ran into Constitution (both of these efforts involved troubled beginnings); can make amends here with clean getaway. Kiero Steady set of a.m. breezes for this firster, son of G1 winner Discreet Cat who notched 1.69 million (his progeny have won 23 out of 190 initial starts); the dam was unraced and this is her sole foal to make it to the races. Nesterenko Ridge Used up in a duel first time out before tiring, a good educational effort despite finishing last; his sire won multiple G1s and 2.05 million while the dam never raced; this is her only foal to compete; worth some follow-up on this turnback. Race 3 Tiz Adonis Sire wins with approximately 11% of his turf starters and dam won 8 of 26 starts for 57k, and she didn't make a turf start; this colt is a 1/2 to Daniel Moon (2-11, 64k over turf); his overall form hasn't been bad by any means, but this isn't a soft assignment for his first turf test. San Antone Stakes placed veteran is seeking his first turf victory, but he's capable of dialing up a competitive performance against competition of this caliber, and like to see what he's done in his two starts over the Churchill Downs turf; third-place finisher from latest won next out here on 5/23 going 1 1/16m vs. 80k OPC's with a 97 Beyer. Depeche Chat He's one of two signed on in this spot for the Arnold barn and this stakes winning veteran has been able to get the job done in five of 13 turf starts; his turf form is in the neighborhood of what it will take to win this and the winner from his latest race returned to win next out at Bel on 5/26 going 1m over turf in a G3 with a 104 Beyer. Layton Register Stone-cold closer has been a pretty consistent performer from 12 turf starts, and he's a proven commodity racing over this turf course, but this group of 62k OPC's might prove to be a bit too tough for him to reel in; respect the presence of Lanerie, but going to look in another direction. Dream Man Maybe he'll respond favorably to the removal of blinkers, and it doesn't hurt to see that his career best Beyer Speed Figure was earned racing over this turf course; runner up from latest won next out at Mnr on 6/10 going 1m over turf vs. alw. rivals with an 87 Beyer. Jomelo Multiple stakes placed gelding might find this to be a tough step up in class after being claimed for 50k from his latest start, but he does figure to appreciate going dirt-to-turf for this; wouldn't be entirely shocked if he ran well against these, but others entice more. Ruble Turf and distance are both concerns in this direction and have to wonder if his connections aren't hoping to see this race get moved to the main track; going to look for him to be involved in the running early on, but others figure to have more to offer late. O'Prado Ole Relatively lightly raced 4-year-old has a strong pedigree for turf and feel that this group of 62k OPC's might be a little softer than what he's faced in his two most recent starts; winner from latest won next out at Bel on 5/26 going 1m over turf in a G3 with a 104 Beyer Speed Figure. Marine Patrol Stakes placed colt commands top contender status based on they way that he's looked in his two most recent starts since being returned from a layoff; not thrilled to see the price tag attached, but he's an obvious threat and Bridgmohan seems to know how to get the most out of him. Vindication Now Although he hasn't made a ton of starts, he's been in pretty good form since about this time last year, and his two most recent races have been a couple of his sharpest performances to date; he's worth paying some attention to whether this race is run over turf or the main track. Film Shot Multiple graded stakes placed performer has a bit of quality to his pedigree and not going to be surprised if he's ready for better while making his second start for this barn; runner up from latest won next out at AP on 5/30 going 1 1/16m vs. 40k OPC's with an 85 Beyer. Flashy Sunrise If this race has to be moved to the main track, this gelding will find himself in a favorable spot, and feel that he's eligible to be ready for a top try while making his third start back from a layoff; he has settled for more than his share of minor awards along the way, but he's clearly a legitimate contender against these. Race 4 Sabercat It's been awhile since he has seen a cameraman; no speed, no asset as the shades come off here; maybe he'll be more relaxed and aware of surroundings; the 4/11 winner upset Will Take Charge in the Alysheba next out and is in the Foster today; must pick it up. Pick of the Litter Far from disgraced last time and he was getting to the winner late; connections were high on him early as he tried the Triple Crown Trail briefly; the win this year came in the second of the layoff move; should be around the wire right back. Looking Cool Proven in this league on turf, he has put up 3 regressions since; off poorly in last and he lost best chance right there; he has some back class to draw from off the Grade 3 win about a year ago; place horse in last took the G2 Dixie next out and the winner repeated in a $64K stakes; note he won that G3 in the second off the layoff ploy. Guilt Trip He's burned some Benjamins in the last pair; the back class is there off the Strub win and he didn't duck Game on Dude either; rider has had success for Catalano and barn due for a bit of luck, check out the 9 slices this meet; best of 59 bullet in the holster; one more chance? Carve Connections had thought about the Foster today but this is a wiser spot; he needs a confidence builder; troubled in the local debut, he was bothered in Maryland last time and never got rolling; racer showed renewed energy in the drill on the 9th; respect. Officer Alex Sire routed successfully but dam and siblings were sprint only; he did pick up a little ground late in the last miler; only beat 5 state-bred foes for the last win; has some things to iron out. Street Spice Considering he caught a clear winner, the last race was not all that bad; Grade 2 placed last year when hooking a repeater, he at least drilled a couple of times since last outing; look for rider to take a little hold, try to get over and save ground and then make the one run. Race 5 Kilted Cowboy Runner up in his local debut was coming as the wire approached in that moderately paced heat and now he'll get a little extra ground in front of him; maybe he's better second time over the course for an outfit that's had its runners ready at the stand and there's not much speed signed on for this so maybe he secures a better spot from the bell; consider. Diacetto Sire gets 14% winners from his first out runners and 11% of his first turfers find the winner's circle; unraced dam dropped 10 winners, 3 of whom won on the green including G1 SW main track sprinter and 460K earner Swagger Jack; barn usually races them into shape and doesn't have them at their best first out. Act of Heroism First part of the coupling tries the green for the first time after showing some ability sprinting on the main track last month; sire gets 10% winners from his initial surface starters but the dam was winless from 5 turf starts prior to dropping this guy; barn doesn't do so well with its runners moving to the green, but does do well with its initial turf starters and this one's pilot has mastered the lawn. Northeast Bound Wasn't beaten much by one of these while rallying into a moderate clip in his return to the local sod; 4 year old faces the issue of pace again in this spot, but his price figures to be much better today; worth a good look. Cov Last out runner up at the trip was forced to make a wide run from an outside draw in his second local sod spin and was good enough to hold the place spot; better draw should help the field's highest last out Beyer earner sit a better spot early and that should benefit him in the lane; one to beat. Tell Jose Firster has been working short for his route debut but a couple of his drills suggest he may have a little bit of early foot; his sire gets 16% first out winners and about 11% first surface winners from his offspring; dam dropped a couple of turf winners including G2 SP, SW and 334K earner Paris Vegas; sharp debut outfit names a top East coast pilot. Include Indycat Didn't do much in any of his 3 main track sprint starts and now they'll move him to the infield; sire gets 8% first time surface winners from his offspring and this guy is the first foal to race out of an unraced dam; just watching him here. Highball Other half of the barn's entry didn't get off to a good beginning in his debut run over the course last month, but he did pass some runners late and has return from the try to work well; dam won on the lawn and banked 194K prior to dropping a few winners including one who scored twice on the green; with Leparoux named he's eligible for much better today; don't overlook. Joyful Moments Drew outside when stretched out a bit to this trip last time and didn't have enough late to factor behind one of these; colt can go better second time at the trip but he's not going to get a lot of pace in front of him here; barn is going well at the stand, but others look more likely. Penobscot Fresh colt failed to improve off his local course debut when switched to dirt early this year in Arkansas; maybe the return to this footing helps move him up and he has been working regularly for his return to the races, but he doesn't have any early lick and that doesn't benefit him given the heat's pace scenario; nice to see Rosie take interest. Coastal Moon Showed little in 2 sprint starts and now he'll stretch out on the move to the infield; colt is by a sire who gets 9% winners from his first time turfers and the dam was winless from 5 surface starts prior to dropping a couple of surface winners including G3 SW and 253K earner the Nth Degree. Blarp Outside drawn colt has yet to hit the board in 5 career tries and now he'll make his first start over the local sod; he did run ok into a slow clip at Keeneland before fading late but he doesn't figure to get much more to run at in this spot; maybe the shades help get him closer early and it's nice to see Bridgmohan take interest. Race 6 Rankhasprivileges Just one other dirt start during career was a distant-show finish to Rise Up who follows him here for this; the 2-back winner is now 4-for-4 scoring next out in an allowance with a 96 Beyer speed figure; the 2-back runner-up took an SA-Grade 2 stakes next out with a 96 Beyer; the grass debut and 1st start of the year was an even finish; lone win was on a synthetic surface and has not been able to race back to his debut-career best Beyer; others appeal more. Tapiture A Grade 2-stakes winner at CD as a 2-year-old he's had 6 weeks since his dull Kentucky Derby and the 2nd lowest Beyer of his career; the 'Derby winner scored next out in the Preakness with a 105 Beyer; beat Conquest Titan at OP now gives that one 5 pounds for this; contender. Rise Up Best game is on the lead but 2 of his wins were stalking trips; high-percentage fresh trainer also nails repeaters and sprint-to-route winners at an incredibe clip; how he handles Almost Famous and The Admiral from the gate is the issue but hopes to take a seat behind a speed duel; view as a major pace presence. Conquest Titan Gets a positive 5-pound weight swing for the Tapiture Arkansas Derby rematch finishing behind him that day; CD-dirt winner has been all freshened up for this; G2-placed at today's distance; the runner-up from last was also the runner-up in the Preakness; he beat the 3-back show finisher who Beyered 97 in a next-out FG-Grade 2 stakes win; beat winners here in November including the runner-up who Beyered 92 in a next-out GP-100K stakes win; the pick. Almost Famous Exits a field-best Beyer speed figure gate-to-wire and has just one loss in 4 CD dirt attempts; has Rise Up to fend off eary then the closers late; is back in just 3 weeks after posting that huge effort with 9 weeks between races; was not up to facing graded-stakes company earlier this year in Florida; is the one to catch and beat. The Admiral Was part of a coupled entry bet to 25-cents on a dollar when the pair were defeated; 1-for-2 in races at today's distance during career which includes the 3-back gate-to-wire score; has Rise Up and Almost Famous to fend off early then the closers late. Ulanbator Huge-class leap from an optional-claiming loss to facing graded-stakes rivals; the winner from last repeated in a PRM-75K stakes with an 84 Beyer; the 3-back winner repeated in a TAM-Grade 2 stakes with a 95 speed figure; has a good-late kick and hopes Rise Up-Almost Famous duel each other into defeat to help set up his late punch. Race 7 Ondine Grade 2 placed last year, she was narrowly beaten 2 back before the dull effort last time; some nice horse have won this race in years past like Serena's Song, Spain, Banshee Breeze, Royal Delta and Rachel Alexandra; place horse in last cashed next out in a Grade 1 and then took a Grade 3 in May at Anita; respect. Molly Morgan Barely off the rail for this, miss has been a nice earner but this race comes up pretty dicey in short and sweet fashion; she has the 2 races under the girth but she has been handled in last 2 stakes tries and is facing some that have been around the block and back; not sold on chances on top. Frivolous A non-threatening third in the local debut; last race not all that bad since she hooked the clear winner but she has not won on dirt and must learn to adapt on the fly; 4 stakes regressions since the solid try in the AP Oaks; hard to adore. On Fire Baby This is her venue; like fact she has natural speed but doesn't need the lead to succeed; 4/11 winner repeated in the G1 $1 million Phipps Belmont Stakes Day with a 102 Beyer; she has shown a penchant for finding the wire and has drilled steadily since the last win; sharp, classy and very dangerous. Fiftyshadesofhay Baffert doesn't ship around on a whim; 3 solid a.m. spins since the Belmont score and she fits in the Beyer department; note she was far from disgraced by the champ last year in the SA Oaks and note her agility to alter course in last; look out. Flashy American The winner of this race last year Funny Proposition was also coming off a 90 Beyer before wiring the field with an identical figure; proven locally and she handles any kind of going; she did lost a little ground late in her last 2 Grade 2 efforts and this is a far cry from winning the Locust Grove; needs very best. Race 8 Revolutionary Late runner cuts back a half panel after making a big last to first run to take the G3 Pimlico Special with a career best number; move to the fence doesn't benefit a runner without much early foot and there isn't a whole lot of early foot in here to set up his kick so he could again find himself with a lot of work to do in the lane; colt did run well in the Derby here last year but prefer to limit his use to underneath in this spot. Jaguar Paw Wasn't beaten much in the G1 Clark here last fall, but the guy who won that heat returns in this spot as well; he's fresh and has worked ok of late for his return to the races, but he looks to be in pretty tough in this spot and don't think he'll have much of a say in the outcome. Moonshine Mullin Six year old enters this in career best form; having taken 4 in a row including the G2 Alysheba here early last month; he's got solid early foot and there's not a lot of that commodity in this heat so he should be able to have things his own way on the front end today; expect they'll have to run him down to win. Will Take Charge Brought nothing to the table while returning here in the G2 Alysheba last month and some of the guys who beat him home in that one return in this spot as well; 4 year old's prior score at Oaklawn was a little shaky but his efforts earlier in the year earned pretty sharp numbers; while there has to be some concern regarding his physical condition, his recent drills suggest he's ready to get back on track; one to beat. Mylute Didn't go so well behind some of these in his second start of the year here after earning a moderate winning number 2 back in his first start since the summer; maybe he's got a move forward in him with that last one behind him and the price does figure to be right to try and get his late kick into the exotics, but pace doesn't figure to do him any favors. Departing Compiled a pretty sweet bankroll while competing in some second tier events as a sophomore but the local debut score over cheaper in his first start of the year last time out was pretty sharp; he'll catch a tough bunch on the class rise but he does know how to win and he's had time to recover from that last one; worth a look at a much improved price. Golden Ticket Wasn't beaten much in the Alysheba here last month and now he'll get a switch to Leparoux while catching the last out winner once again; while he hasn't had any luck at this 9 panel trip, he did earn a career best number in this heat's renewal last season; hasn't won too often in the graded stakes ranks, however. Long River He's been working rather well at Saratoga for his return from he freshening after coming up empty late behind some decent ones at Charlestown; colt ran quite well over the inner track at Aqueduct this winter and he's got the tactical foot to secure a good tracking spot from the bell; regular pilot ships in with a runner who may be ready to explode; giving him the nod to get back on track today. Prayer for Relief Outside drawn 6 year old ran too well to lose at Pimlico last time and the guy who beat him in that one shows up in this spot as well; last out pilot will return on him for the first time this year and he has shown the ability to sit closer to the pacesetters which can only help him given this heat's pace scenario; consider. Race 9 Kiss Moon Sire wins with approximately 11% of his turf starters and G3 winning dam won 6 of 19 turf starts for 374k; multiple graded stakes placed filly has already shown a good deal of ability and she might be looking forward to seeing what she can do racing over turf. Tepin Sire wins with approximately 16% of his turf starters and dam was unraced; she's a race removed from a G3 score at Delta Downs, but it would have been nice to have seen her show more in her first start as a 3-year-old in her latest outing, and this is a tough spot for her first turf start. V V Goodnight She finished behind a couple of today's rivals in her latest start, but she certainly didn't disgrace herself in that event, and with better racing luck, she can turn the tables on those foes in this spot; late running type can't be ignored. A Little Bit Sassy She hasn't run a bad race routing over turf and she beat a couple of these while recording her first stakes victory in her latest outing; she owns excellent positional speed and she's still eligible to have more to show us at this stage of her career. Personal Diary Have to respect the improvement she's shown along the Beyer Speed Figure scale in her two most recent starts, but she's come up short against N1X allowance competition lately, and now she's stepping up to try a G3; prefer to look toward others. Aurelia's Belle Sire wins with approximately 14% of his turf starters and dam was winless from three starts, and she didn't make a start over turf; she's a G3 winner racing over the synthetic surface at TP and her pedigree gives her a license to take to turf. Istanford Respect the fact that she was able to take seven rivals gate-to-finish in recording a G3 win over the Arlington Park turf course in her latest start, but an ideal early pace scenario played a big role in that victory, and she figures to have to work harder early on in this event. Stellaris Sire wins with approximately 12% of his turf starters and dam won once from 17 starts for 55k, including 0-for-2 over turf; she's done little wrong in her first three starts and the potential for better exists, but she is being handed a tough assignment for her first turf attempt. Share the Sugar It's tough to knock anything this filly has done in her first three starts and she's two-for-two with Leparoux in the saddle; she's getting tested for class today, but not going to argue with anyone who is looking favorably in this direction. Handmade Sire wins with approximately 12% of his turf starters and dam won once from five starts for 25k, and she didn't make a turf start; her dirt form has been solid, something to consider if this race has to be moved to the main track, but it's tough to give her a favorable push in her turf debut when considering the quality of this field. Race 11 Red Ring Fair gate breezes of late; her sire won a G1 and 727K (offspring of El Corredor have scored in nearly 10 percent of their debuts); the dam went zero for 3 and this is her only foal to make it to the starting gate. Tarpy's Dream Respectable try while the 6 to 5 favorite here last month, a race where she lost significant ground; draws very comfortably now and this field appears weaker than the one she faced last time out; should be a major presence with an alert beginning. Citiqueen Flashed some early speed when negotiating the turf in her 2013 finale; her sire won a G2 and 638K while the dam scored in 6 of 26 attempts earning 241K; sib to 242K bankroller Queen's Award; should fare better against this lesser grade. Sherika Could not keep pace in her latest run which turned out to be a key affair; her sire won the Derby and 1.99 million while the dam won 2 of 13 attempts and 48K; sib to 205K earner Magdalena's Chase; solid trainer/jockey combination is a definite plus. Miz Minnie Moon Tailed off since that fine showing last October; she had a legitimate excuse in her only start of the year and now, dropping in for a tag for the first time, should show more early foot; despite the major class relief, she should be a decent price. Key Agent Beginner was sired by G3 victor Keyed Entry who netted 322K and whose progeny are 4 for 61 in their first try; the dam never competed; among the winning siblings is 64K earner Indian Assault; shows modest workout regimen. Indian Fiesta Although beaten by some of these same rivals in the last pair, she has shown much more in the way of early speed; can be an early presence once again but the latest half-mile breeze was not encouraging; mixed signals. Justice Judy No match for Tarpy's Dream last our but she did not have a smooth trip that day; makes her 19th attempt in these ranks but, based on her portfolio, still warrants some use in the trifecta pool; a wet track would help towards that end. Ms. Zenergy Disappointed at odds-on last month and now doubles in price for the new connections; will have to deal with a much swifter half-mile fraction for this contest and this outside slot is no bargain either; may need to run a personal best in order to gain another exacta finish.
