RACE 1
2. Super Tiz | Heavily bet in CT debut, now dropping to bottom in first local try |
4. Hundred Proof | Every once in a while, this guy pops a good one |
5. Muthabir | Made debut against much better on synthetic; we’ll see how he takes to regular dirt |
RACE 2
3. Al Ameeq | Easily last out at 1-20, should find the waters deeper here |
1. The Heights | In a race with some speed signed on, this one may be picking them up late |
6. Hey River | Has been competitive with similar at Parx and might try to take command early |
RACE 3
6. La Tremenda | Not excited about the likely short odds, but on the drop in class as possibly the controlling speed, this one could be tough |
8. Big Bolt | Had a couple of decent local tries last season; best contends |
2. Judith’s Cross | First time on the main track |

RACE 4
6. Watch Your Tone | Second off the bench and has better to run back to; has enough tactical speed to work out a trip |
3. Namora | Good effort in latest when just giving up the lead late and gets leading rider JRod up; pace scenario here likely to be a bit different if #1 gets away |
7. Honor the Truth | Should be running at the end and will appreciate class relief |
RACE 5
3. Man With the Money | $60k Munnings colt makes debut here; trainer Lake 15% with firsters, and this one is a half to a first-out winner who then ran third in stakes company |
6. Stanley Cat | Solid effort last out in first turf sprint when tracking pace, lacking room in upper stretch before tiring |
5. Mach Two Blue | Winner of lone turf try was a $200k Chad Brown shipper by Constitution |

- Massif won the day’s featured allowance when put up via disqualification. The Sky Mesa gelding, ridden by Sheldon Russell for Brittany Russell, mounted a late rally that fell a nose short but benefited when winner Omni King was DQed for interfering with another rival. Massif paid $9.40…
RACE 6
5. Bellofthebluegrass | Has won two straight and arrives from Keeneland claim for barn that can win first off the claim; Bocachica here for just the one mount |
4. Old Bay | Second off the bench; return to best form would put her in the mix |
1. Chickieness | Showed speed and packed it in behind 8-5 winner in two-other-than; more congenial company should help |
RACE 7
10. Sal’s Blue Jacket | Trainer Stidham 31% with a positive ROI off similarly lengthy breaks at DEL; has tactical speed to work out a trip |
3. Venomous Vixen | Decent tries in allowance company at FG; rider Toledo enters off big weekend |
1. Victoria’s Dancer | Ambitiously spotted in most recent on turf when 100-1 in G2; this spot a lot more friendly |
RACE 8
4. Tweet Away Robin | Useful return to action and was ultra-competitve at this level last year |
1. Valid Reason | Speedster could take ’em a long way |
6. R Averie Lynn | Two-race win streak snapped in latest versus better |
