OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Tuskegee Airmen has won both of his starts, and to listen to his trainer, John Servis, the horse has yet to figure out what he’s doing. “He’s super talented, has absolutely no idea,” Servis said. “I told [owner Chuck Zacney], when this horse figures out what’s going on, he’s going to be a force to be reckoned with.” Servis believes Tuskegee Airmen will learn through on-the-job training. His third race will be Saturday at Aqueduct when he’s scheduled to face six 2-year-olds going 1 1/8 miles in the Grade 2, $250,000 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct. Servis won the 2004 Remsen with Rockport Harbor, a horse Servis said had a passive attitude toward training similar to Tuskegee Airmen’s, but as far as racing goes, “he was aggressive,” Servis said. “He was ready to rock and roll when he ran,” he said. Tuskegee Airmen may be more a soft rocker at this point, but he was good enough to win a seven-furlong maiden race at Parx by 5 1/2 lengths under Luis Saez. The race, conducted on the Sept. 24 Pennsylvania Derby Day card with 14 horses, has produced five next-out winners. That includes Tuskegee Airmen, who won the Rocky Run Stakes, a two-turn mile race at Delaware Park on Oct. 15. Though he won by 3 1/4 lengths, Tuskegee Airmen, ridden by Paco Lopez that day, looked in trouble entering the far turn. :: Bet the races with a $200 First Deposit Match and FREE Formulator PPs!

That goes to show you how much talent he’s got, but he’s like a pony. I almost wish he’d show a little more aggression.” Tuskegee Airmen will be reunited with Saez Saturday from post 2. Midnight Trouble, who finished second in the Rocky Run, will make his seventh start, but first for trainer Peter Walder, who also owns the horse along with Peter Proscia’s Paradise Farms and David Staudacher. Midnight Trouble, a son of Midnight Lute, won his maiden going a two-turn mile at Delaware Park. “The way he works, the way he trains, it certainly seems like he’ll get the mile and an eighth,” Walder said. “He’s been two turns twice. That’ll bode well for him. How many 2-year-olds really want to go a mile and an eighth this time of year?” Trainer Danny Gargan won the Nashua Stakes for 2-year-olds here about a month ago with Champions Dream, but Saturday he’ll send out maiden winner Dubyuhnell in the Remsen. In his debut, he finished fourth at Saratoga to Instant Coffee, who won last Saturday’s Kentucky Jockey Club at Churchill Downs. Dubyuhnell, a son of Good Magic, came back to win a one-mile off-the-turf maiden race by 2 1/2 lengths in the slop, conditions that could be in play Saturday. “I think all these Good Magic [progeny] are route horses,” Gargan said. “I think he’s a really nice horse who with racing will get better and better.” Arctic Arrogance and Quick to Accuse finished one-two in the Sleepy Hollow Stakes, a one-turn mile race for New York-bred 2-year-olds. Prove Right finished third in the Nashua. Il Miracolo, trained by Antonio Sano, ships up from Florida after a maiden win going one mile at Gulfstream Park. Demoiselle Stakes Julia Shining will try to emulate what her sister Malathaat did two years ago when she takes on six rivals in the Grade 2, $250,000 Demoiselle Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at 1 1/8 miles. Malathaat won the 2020 Demoiselle in the slop. :: Get Daily Racing Form Past Performances – the exclusive home of Beyer Speed Figures Julia Shining, by Curlin out of Dreaming of Julia, was quite the impressive debut winner, rallying from last at Keeneland going seven furlongs on Oct. 16. The reason she dropped back so far was a negative reaction to kickback early in the race. Saturday, Aqueduct’s main track could be sloppy, so it might be imperative for Saez to keep Julia Shining away from any slop being thrown back her way. “The kickback she didn’t like at all. That’s why she was climbing the the first part of the race. It was why Luis had to take her out so wide and get her face clean,” Pletcher said, referring to Julia Shining’s debut. “Could that be worse on a sloppy track? Sure. I think she’ll handle the footing fine.” Pletcher also believes Julia Shining will handle the 1 1/8 miles. “That’s going to be to her strength,” Pletcher said. “She might show a little more speed after having a race and stretching out a little more.” Trainer Butch Reid is confident Foggy Night will handle 1 1/8 miles. Two starts back, she won a two-turn, mile and 70-yard maiden race at Parx by 11 1/4 lengths. She came back to finish second in the Tempted Stakes. She figures to be a forward a factor breaking from the rail under Paco Lopez. Royal Spa, a debut winner at Churchill Downs on Nov. 18; Gambling Girl, a New York-bred stakes winner; La Vita Sofia; Tribal Queen; and the maiden Affirmative Lady complete the lineup. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
