Don Tito

Trainer: Marty Wolfson

Last race: July 9, 4th

Finish: 4th by 2 1/2

A son of Trippi, he made his debut on the turf and lost all chance when he broke several lengths behind the field. He showed some late interest and may be better suited if switched over to the main track for his next start.

Little Drama

Trainer: David Fawkes

Last race: July 10, 7th

Finish: 1st by 9

The victim of a bad trip when second-best in his debut, this promising juvenile colt returned to demolish the horse who defeated him; he also beat the track bias on the Summit of Speed program. He might follow in the footsteps of big brother Big Drama, who two years earlier competed in the summer Florida Stallion series.

Pica Slew

Trainer: Joe Calascibetta

Last race: July 10, 8th

Finish: 1st by 2

This is a serious racehorse. She proved she is not one-dimensional by rallying off the pace to post her first graded stakes victory in her fourth career start. She ran faster than both 3-year-old boys in the Carry Back and older fillies and mares in the Grade 1 Princess Rooney on Saturday’s Summit of Speed card. She is already in Saratoga preparing for the Test.

Imperial Czar

Trainer: Saul Matos

Last race: July 11, 2nd

Finish: 2nd by 1 1/4

Lightly raced 2-year-old should improve with experience. She could not match strides with the winner in her last start, in which she raced very greenly through the stretch, ducking in and out to hamper her rider before straightening away to take second money. It should not be long before she earns her diploma.
