PALMER’S WAY
Trainer: Peter Miller
Last race: Jan. 21, race 7
Finish: Second by three and one-quarter lengths
Beyer: 81
A first-time starter by Gemologist, this colt broke last, made an extended run into contention, loomed in stretch, lugged in while tiring, likely best in an excellent debut.

DOWNTOWNER
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Last race: Jan. 21, race 7
Finish: Fifth by six and one-half lengths
Beyer: 74
A first-time starter that was ignored in the betting at 9-1, he lacked speed, finished with run and galloped out big past the wire. Majestic Warrior colt can only improve.
