- One last time, it’s always something at PimlicoMaybe it was inevitable. Maybe there had to be, you know, something unusual to happen this weekend at Pimlico. Given the history and all.
| RACE NUMBER | CONTENDERS | COMMENTS |
| Race 6 | 2-1-5-7 | #2 Ira the Icon (3-1): Sire won the Pennsylvania Derby, and his works say he is ready. Trainer Butch Reid has a 32% strike rate with first time two-year-olds. He needs an alert start from the inside. #1 Keithsendshellooo (5-1): His two starts were really good, and he was third last out with same. He’ll need to get away cleanly from the inside post. #5 Vamonos (5-1): Last out was at Belmont Park, and he was overmatched. Can be a player with these. #7 Runaholic (5-2): Son of Runhappy, who gets juvenile winners. His works also say he is ready in a very competitive field. |
| Race 9 | 3-6-1-5 | #3 Vulcan (7-2): Claimed last out for $40,000 and has the speed to take it gate to wire. Just missed last out. #6 The Sicarii (5-1): Ships in from Penn National and faced allowance foes there. Ran a strong race and makes second start off the bench. Improvement is expected. #1 Still Having Fun (5-2): Ships in from Delaware and also makes second start off the bench. Has plenty of back class, including G2 win and earnings of over $600,000, now in Jamie Ness barn. #5 Breezy Gust (9-2): Was claimed for cheaper last out but has the speed to get involved early. If he shakes loose, can earn a major piece. |
