CRACK THAT WHIP
Trainer: Mike McDonald
Last race: Nov. 13, 7th
Finish: 1st by 2 1/2
Beyer: 74
A router, she showed that she’s a very capable closing sprinter, coming from off slow fractions to win a first-level Ontario-sired allowance going away. It shouldn’t take her many tries to clear the nonwinners-of-three OS allowance condition.

DADDY’S GREAT BAY
Trainer: Reade Baker
Last race: Nov. 14, 3rd
Finish: 3rd by 2 3/4
Beyer: 55
She closed late after a wide trip and galloped out in front when debuting in a 6 1/2-furlong maiden special. The daughter of red-hot 2-year-old sire Scat Daddy should appreciate a stretchout in distance, regardless of the surface.

BOLD DISCOVERY
Trainer: Barb Minshall
Last race: Nov. 14, 5th
Finish: 9th by 18
Beyer: 14
After making a bid on the backstretch, he was checked in traffic along the rail on the far turn and faded. His two previous races at the same $25,000 maiden-claiming level were decent, and he could make an impact as a longshot next time.
