RACE 1: TOPAZ BRIDE (#6)
Our Pick last week, Red Venus, may have moved too soon but then she was up against what appears to have been a pretty tough field including a million dollar yearling winner. Still, we’d tab her back next time with her experience. Meanwhile 15 BreezeFigs juveniles broke their maidens last week at: Aqueduct, Charles Town, Delta, Fair Grounds, Golden Gate, Gulfstream (six, including a BreezeFigs exacta), Hawthorne, Los Alamitos (two, including a BreezeFigs exacta), and Tampa Bay.

A paucity of North American stakes opportunities this pre-Christmas Saturday, and a wet forecast in New Orleans, where Fair Grounds hosts the best card of the weekend, could turn things murky. It’s downright icy at Aqueduct for the Queens County Stakes, which is too confusing to get seriously involved, and a decent chance of rain at Gulfstream Park complicates things in the Mr. Prospector Stakes, which has a short but select field.
Nonetheless, passing is not an option in this space, so . . . onward.
