Race 2

Mom’s a Cougar (#9)

She is bred for turf, having been sired by 15% turf sire Kantharos.

She is a half-sister to turf stakes-placed runner Mom’s On Strike.

Handled a sloppy, sealed track, which is sometimes indicative of turf ability.

6-1 on ML

Race 4

Carrera Cat (#2)

Was off slowly and rushed up into contention while racing in tight quarters in her debut.

Was never fully clear when making her run down the stretch last time.

She is bred to stretch out in distance as a half-sister to turf route winner Kitty Maddnes.

4-1 on ML

Race 7

Proper Freud (#10)

The Pace Projector is predicting he will get a fast pace to close into.

Gets a very positive rider switch to Kendrick Carmouche.

Was running competitive races as recently as this winter, and the step up in class is a good sign.
