Race 7:
Dream Passage (#6)

Makes her first turf start for Brad Cox, who does a fantastic job with turf sprinters.

Actually kept decent company despite facing maidens on grass in recent starts.

Showed improvement despite racing on a surface that she doesn’t particularly appreciate just six days ago.

3-1 on ML

Race 9:
Sweet Sting (#8)

La Moneda, who defeated her last time, returned to validate the lofty speed figure that the race was assigned.

Ran deceptively well in a few starts earlier this spring and has been improving since then.

Her recent fast workouts over the Saratoga training track suggest that she’s doing well.

5-1 on ML

Race 10:
Fixed Point (#2)

His two turf sprint efforts at Gulfstream were actually good performances for that time of year.

The top two finishers out of his last race have returned to run significantly faster speed figures in subsequent starts.

Gets a massive trainer upgrade to Phil Serpe.
