Dave Litfin|May 06, 2015

CLOTHES FALL OFF
Trainer: Kiaran McLaughlin
Last race: May 3, 3rd
Finish: 2nd by 1
Beyer: 73
Up from Palm Meadows for her first start since winning her sloppy debut at Saratoga, this filly broke sluggishly, made up four lengths rallying into contention through the second quarter-mile, and closed well through the lane in a promising first allowance try.

DEVILISH LOVE
Trainer: Tony Dutrow
Last race: May 1, 8th
Finish: 2nd by 2 3/4
Beyer: 85
Closed out a three-win 2014 with a runner-up finish in the Maryland Million Ladies at 1 1/8 miles and returned with a good conditioning effort chasing Zindaya’s moderate pace throughout the six-furlong License Fee Stakes; all her wins last year came at one mile.

HOWL
Trainer: Oscar Barrera III
Last race: Apr. 29, 7th
Finish: 4th by 5 3/4
Beyer: 66
Earned a career-best Beyer Speed Figure for a maiden win at Belmont last spring and didn’t have the best of racing luck as the favorite in a starter allowance on opening day, when shuffled back several positions through the middle stages and along late to finish fourth.
