Ss Poker Face Dream has won his races by a combined margin of six lengths, his latest a 2 1/4-length romp in his trial for the Sires’ Cup. He rallied from just off the pace, and before that won on the front end in a maiden race and an allowance, both at Sam Houston.

Sweet Oblivion enters off a dominant, 3 1/2-length trial win in which she covered 400 yards in 19.86 seconds, the fastest qualifying time for the series.
