RACE 4

2. ShowpiecePricey first-timer from the Stidham barn is a half to graded winner Barbados; barn can get ’em to win first out
5. Elon0-for-14 a bit unsightly but last was ok in a race that’s produced three next-out winners to date
10. MadefromlionaImproved outing in latest when closing well against lesser

RACE 5

1. Cloud MusicHas been facing better and might be speed of the speed; cutback a plus
4. It’ll DoLost rider in the starting gate in latest but had won two of three prior
3. JohnnyfrenchfriVeteran has plenty of good back efforts even if recent outings are bland

RACING NOTES

  • Jockey Kevin Gomez swept the early double, while Alexander Crispin swept the late double. Gomez’ winners were One Improbable ($3.20) for trainer Kenneth Black and Viking Queen ($5.00) for Renaldo Richards. Crispin won aboard Mo Hype ($13.00) for Jerry Robb and Nanisca ($28.00) for Pedro Nazario.
  • Friday Surprise was first past the post in the Friday feature, an allowance/optional claimer for three-year-olds, but was disqualified to fourth after nearly putting Hey Big Un into the infield. That elevated Shootersgottashoot ($23.20) to first for jockey Raul Mena and trainer Mario Serey.

RACE 6

8. More AccelerationCaught a tough group in turf bow that’s already produced three next-out winners from five to run back
7. Sweet MarieJust missed in latest
5. Girl of FaithBlinkers off and Lasix on for season bow

RACE 7

4. Graceful RoseHoping veteran mare gets the lively pace she needs to run at
5. Proud DiviLikely speed of the speed but skipping a condition
7. Appeal FactorWildcard entrant won three straight stakes to start career at Emerald before things went sideways, and she’s made only one start since July 2024; June 3 bullet move seems to have been in company with sophomore allowance winner Drink This Cup

RACE 8

1. UndalayLook for rider to put this one on the lead and hope for the best; beat similar two back and last out didn’t miss by much
4. He’s in ChargeObviously the most likely winner and one who needs to be on your tickets, but last out was life-and-death to hold off 30-1 shot, so maybe a little vulnerable in this spot at what will be verrryyyy short odds?
5. Sunset TownPretty good form right now
