RECYCLEYOURHEART
Trainer: Andy Mathis
Last race: July 26, 1st
Finish: 3rd by 1
Beyer: 42
Second-start juvenile filly was best in Cal-bred maiden-50 Off slow, hard-held, steadied on turn, angled out, wrong lead. She is green, but fits vs. similar. This this was a tough trip.
Looks like the perfect spot for Fierceness to get back on track, this Jim Dandy. Outside draw in a short field with a speed horse who might tow him along – ideal circumstances, and Fierceness looks far stronger and robust than he did in Louisville. But the bang for beating Sierra Leone – no easy task – just isn’t worth the buck.
Subrogate came under serious consideration in Saratoga’s second stakes, the Vanderbilt, but I can’t shake the feeling he’ll better suit the seven-furlong Forego than this six-furlong contest in which Skelly, from this vantage point, appears vulnerable.
BIG BUZZ
Trainer: Steve Knapp
Last race: July 20, 1st
Finish: 5th by 10 3/4

Late-running veteran had no shot on speed-biased track in $16k claiming route. Lagged, split field, never in it. With a class drop and non-biased surface, 9-year-old merits a closer look.
