ARCADIA, Calif. – Highly regarded, high-strung European import Maglev makes his U.S. debut as the class of the $100,000 Eddie Logan Stakes on Sunday at Santa Anita, but his chance to win the turf mile for newly turned 3-year-olds depends on his willingness to cooperate. Easier said than done. Maglev was repeatedly “keen” while winning one of five starts in England, yet ran sufficiently well against top company to motivate owners Jed and Tim Cohen to purchase the Irish-bred colt for a reported $433,595 at an autumn auction. And though Maglev has not missed a beat since arriving in California in late November, trainer Mark Glatt and jockey Umberto Rispoli are cognizant of his mannerisms. Maglev wants to go. :: Get Daily Racing Form Past Performances – the exclusive home of Beyer Speed Figures “When he’s by himself, he’ll do whatever you want,” Glatt said. “But the way he works when he’s with some company, I’m a little bit concerned how manageable he might be in the early stages of the race. He’s pretty aggressive when you put him in company.” It’s a habit he brought from England, and Rispoli got a taste of his speed while working Maglev a half-mile Monday over the Santa Anita training track – his 47.60 was the day’s fastest work. Rispoli also consulted with Maglev’s previous rider Tom Marquand regarding the colt’s idiosyncrasies. :: Join DRF Bets and play the races with a $250 First Deposit Bonus. Click to learn more. Maglev finished fifth last out in a Group 2 and was previously second in a 15-runner handicap won by Harrow, who subsequently ran third in a Group 3 won by the next-out Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner, Modern Games. The point is, Maglev’s overseas form is solid. Ten entered the Logan, the final race on a 10-race Sunday card. Top contenders include Boise, last-out winner of the Gold Rush Stakes at Golden Gate Fields and fourth in a turf stakes two starts back at Del Mar. Barsabas and Cabo Spirit finished two-three in the Grade 3 Cecil B. DeMille Stakes at Del Mar. Others in the Logan are Street Art, Handy Dandy, C’Mon Man, Bally’s Charm, Derecho Dandy, and Unreal. Boise may provide the biggest challenge for Maglev. Jonathan Wong trains 2-for-3 Boise, the Northern California-based colt who is the only stakes winner in the field. Flavien Prat rides Boise. Barsabas took advantage of a hot pace when finishing second at 49-1 in the Cecil B. DeMille last out. Ryan Hanson trains the gelding, who improved after moving to turf. “The setup of the race probably benefited us, but we’ll take it and hopefully run the same race,” Hanson said. Tyler Baze rides Barsabas. Maglev will try to become the first to win the Eddie Logan while making his U.S. debut since Yankee Bravo in 2007. Six tried since. A win by Maglev would ease the sting of Dr. Schivel’s seventh-place finish one week ago in the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes. Trained by Glatt and owned by the Cohens, Dr. Schivel had an alibi. “He’s sick. It’s fairly minor,” Glatt said. “It seems to be viral. His blood work is normal and he’s acting okay, but his temperature keeps fluctuating. There are quite a few sick horses on the backside.”
