INSIDEONDOUTSIDE
Trainer: Peter Miller
Last race: Nov. 2, 2nd
Finish: 1st by 3
Beyer: 86
This 4-year-old gelding found his niche – setting the pace long on turf. He stretched out, won by three, and was claimed for $32K by Miller from Doug O’Neill. Up the ladder.

OBVIOUSLY
Trainer: Mike Mitchell
Last race: Nov. 2, 11th
Finish: 5th by 6
Beyer: 91
A blazing pace over a turf course unkind to speed sealed this front-runner’s fate in the Breeders’ Cup Mile. He could show up Nov. 29 in the Grade 2 Citation.

WILL HE AMAZE
Trainer: Vladimir Cerin
Last race: Nov. 3, 3rd
Finish: 1st by 2 1/4
Beyer: 64
Gelded since his most recent start, this 3-year-old trounced maiden-20 claimers in better style than the speed figure suggests. He was wide on every turn, yet still won clear.

MORE CHOCOLATE
Trainer: John Sadler
Last race: Nov. 3, 9th
Finish: 7th by 5 1/4
Beyer: 83
Though she won on grass, she runs best on dirt and synthetic. She misfired again on turf, but can rebound on a different surface. Grade 2 winner expected to race next year at 5.

EDUCATED GUESS
Trainer: David Hofmans
Last race: Nov. 3, 10th
Finish: 1st by 10 1/4
Beyer: 79
A gelding making his debut at the maiden-20 bottom, he won by more than 10 lengths while “ridden out.” He fits right back in a starter allowance.
