BLITHELY
Trainer: Mark Hennig
Last race: Jan. 29, 7th
Finish: 3rd by 3/4
Beyer: 85
Consistently hard-trying New York-bred filly was stepping up against open secondary-allowance sprinters and might have been best after encountering traffic and steadying twice in the stretch while stuck along the inside.

GRAEME CRACKERS
Trainer: Rick Violette Jr.
Last race: Feb. 1, 8th
Finish: 3rd by 9 1/4
Beyer: 61
Making her first start since August, this 3-year-old New York-bred filly was within two lengths of the lead after the opening quarter-mile, steadied in tight along the inside, losing several positions and better than five lengths, angled off the rail in upper stretch, and finished willingly for a minor share in the Franklin Square Stakes.

TITANOR
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Last race: Feb. 1, 5th
Finish: 6th by 18 3/4
Beyer: 47
Coming off a respectable Beyer Speed Figure pair-up to begin his career, this colt by Giant’s Causeway stumbled badly at the start and raced wide around both turns in a maiden special weight route.
