Last race: Sept. 2, race 1
Finish: 4th by 7

Last race: Sept. 2, race 5
Finish: 4th by 2 1/4

Finish: 2nd by 1 1/4

Favored in special-weight sprint for older maidens, leapt in air, away last, extended rally saving ground, finished well, galloped out in front. Should be tough next out vs. similar.

ALTHEA GIBSON
Trainer: Phil D’Amato
Last race: Sept. 6, race 6
Finish: 7th by 6

Comeback filly favored in N1X turf sprint, not quick, shuffled early, in traffic, steadied repeatedly on turn and into lane, never had a chance. Toss race, follow at Santa Anita.
SILVER SURFER

Last race: Sept. 6, race 8
Finish: 3rd by 1 3/4
Beyer: 59
Euro-import ran well in $100k turf-mile stakes. Keen early, saved ground, asked for run into lane, hit traffic, lacked room deep stretch, finished fairly well. Promising U.S. debut.
