TALE OF MIST Trainer: Barclay Tagg Last race: Nov. 22, 6th Finish: 3rd by 7 3/4 Beyer: 74 Racing with Lasix for the first time, this second-time starter turned in an improved effort in the faster division of a one-mile maiden special weight for 2-year-olds. MORSE CODE Trainer: Shug McGaughey Last race: Nov. 20, 9th Finish: 2nd by 1 3/4 Beyer: 68 Evoked memories of his older half-brother Honor Code’s debut, as he found best stride belatedly and finished strongly to nip heavily favored Rally Cry for the runner-up spot in a promising effort. MEWANNAROSE Trainer: Chris Englehart Last race: Nov. 18, 8th Finish: 5th by 4 1/4 Beyer: 90 Making his second start back from a layoff, he broke from the rail and stumbled badly at the start, chased the pace to the stretch and weakened in a high-end optional claiming sprint. Ran his lifetime top Beyer (103) on the inner dirt last winter.
