SILENT SONET
Trainer: Nick Gonzalez
Last race: May 20, ninth
Finish: First by 6 3/4 lengths
Beyer: 85
She was bet down to 5-2 when debuting against Ontario-sired maidens, and then cruised to an easy score in a rapid five-furlong clocking. The 3-year-old daughter of Silent Name obviously has stakes potential.

UNSPOILED MOMENTS
Trainer: Josie Carroll
Last race: May 20, sixth
Finish: Fourth by 2 3/4 lengths
Beyer: 70
After getting away slowly, he lacked room on the turn and in the stretch of a maiden special weight turf sprint on the grass, an improved performance following a disappointing winter stint at Gulfstream.

JAIL TIME
Trainer: Paul Buttigieg
Last race: May 20, fourth
Finish: Fourth by six lengths
Beyer: 48
He was herded at the start before closing belatedly and then galloped out strongly at first asking in a combo maiden dash for Ontario-sired stock and $40,000 claimers.
