Peck: Monmouth horses to watch for week of Aug. 26, 2019

BROKER'S REWARD

Trainer: Michael Trombetta

Date: Aug. 24, 9th

Finish: 4th by 5

Beyer: 69

One of the projected speeds in the field failed to break and that changed the complexion of the race, leaving the closers with too much to do to overcome the controlled pace. This runner did well to get 4th with a late run and he stands to improve with a better pace setup.

MIDDAY PRAYER

Trainer: Garry Thompson

Date: Aug. 24, 13th

Finish: 6th by 8 3/4

Beyer: 35

Ran deceptively well in her prior start, and though she was off the board here she was up against the race flow, as this was another sprint that was light on pace. Eligible to surprise with the right trip.
