Dave Litfin|Dec 08, 2014

HOLIDAY’S JEWEL
Trainer: Mitch Friedman
Last race: Dec. 3, 3rd
Finish: 2nd by 1 3/4
Beyer: 78
She encountered traffic along the inside entering the stretch, finished willingly between horses with little maneuvering room, and galloped out with good energy.

MONEYINYOUR POCKET
Trainer: Charlie Baker
Last race: Dec. 4, 6th
Finish: 2nd by 3 1/2
Beyer: 87
Last year’s A.M. Robb runner-up at 19-1 reaffirmed his affinity for the inner track, hooking up in a pace duel with the favored Golden Itiz and getting the best of that rival to save the place at 16-1 in an optional-claiming route.

SUN STORM
Trainer: Matthew Peebles
Last race: Dec. 7, 7th
Finish: 1st by 1 1/4
Beyer: 59
Away last after brushing the side of the gate and being bumped, raced four wide moving up around the turn, and drew away to take a $12,500 restricted claimer despite the trouble and loss of ground; may be dangerous right back on the raise.
