CURRY
Trainer: Bruce Headley
Last race: Oct. 24, 2nd
Finish: 1st by 12 lengths
Beyer: 93
First-time gelding off 18 months popped gate and crushed Cal-bred maidens. Cyclotron gelding produced by sibling to G1 winner M One Rifle can win right back Cal-bred N1X.
MAGIC AT MIDNIGHT
Trainer: Mark Glatt
Last race: Oct. 24, 8th
Finish: 5th by 2 3/4
Beyer: 82
Odds-on in G3 turf sprint, previously unbeaten speedster broke dead last, was blocked on the turn, lacked a rally. This was a complete toss. Fits in turf sprint, minor stakes or N2X.
BOONSESBORO BEAUTY
Trainer: Eric Kruljac
Last race: Oct. 25, 6th
Finish: 3rd by 2 1/4
Beyer: 60
Low-level claiming filly ran super with wide trip. Four wide first turn, four wide far turn, hit front top of stretch, lost punch. She covered a lot of ground. Follow in claiming route.
ACOUSTIC SHADOW
Trainer: Leonard Powell
Last race: Oct. 25, 11th
Finish: 8th by 6 3/4
Beyer: 63
Older turf maiden inexplicably found herself setting pace at mile and quarter, led into lane, faltered. Ran well from off pace previous, expect return to that strategy next out.
