PETE’S FLEET
Trainer: Chris Englehart
Last race: March. 13, 5th
Finish: 3rd by 2 1/4
Beyer: 60

ONTHECURVE
Trainer: Nick Esler
Last race: March 14, 9th
Finish: 3rd by 3 1/4
Beyer: 63
Making his first start since being claimed Dec. 27, he steadied on the first turn and was then sandwiched between horses through the stretch, yet still recorded a new lifetime Beyer Speed Figure top.

HAMPDEN FIVEONE
Trainer: Gary Contessa
Last race: March 15, 7th
Finish: 3rd by 1 3/4
Beyer: 73
Raised up off a claim after beating $16,000 restricted claimers, this improved sprinter ran up into a blindswitch in the stretch and finished willingly while edging forward to a second consecutive Beyer top.
