OPENING REMARK
Trainer: John Mattine
Last race: May 14, 7^th
Finish: 4^th by 1 3/4
Beyer: 62
After a troubled beginning, he lacked room along the inside in a $20,000 claimer for non-winners of two.

SAMMY FROM MIAMI
Trainer: Bill Tharrenos
Last race: May 13, 4^th
Finish: 3^rd by 2 1/4
Beyer: 43
He prevailed in a front-end battle before tiring in the final sixteenth against $8,000 maidens. That was his first outing in nearly eight months, and it should set him up for a maiden victory.

AVIE’S MESA
Trainer: Josie Carroll
Last race: May 13, 7th
Finish: 2^nd by 1 1/2
Beyer: 86
The Queen’s Plate prospect couldn’t keep up with a razor-sharp older rival in the stretch of a first-level allowance, while ending up seven lengths clear of the third-place finisher. His Beyer was one of the highest earned by a Canadian-bred 3-year-old this year.
