  • CARRYOVERS: None
  • POST TIME: 12:38 P.M.
  • NUMBER OF RACES: 8

RACE 1: 4-6-8-5

#4 Fratellone makes second start off the Potts claim and drops down to about the initial claiming level following a solid try against better… #6 Lucky Larry makes his first start on dirt against older horses and second off a bit of a freshening; saw higher priced horses as a two- and early-three-year-old…#8 Drop Me a Dime was terrible in his first in the Deiter barn but has better to run back to…

RACE 2: 4-3-6-1

#4 Nance’s Notion is a first-time starter in field of horses that haven’t shown much and might be worth a flyer at a price; the worktab is OK, and one of this one’s half-siblings won on debut… #3 Happy Encounter took a while to figure out there was a race going on in her debut; improvement expected today… #6 Kwan could improve on the switch to dirt…

RACE 3: 1-5-2-7

#1 Good as He Gets drops into a manageable spot in his second off the Pecoraro claim… #5 Collection Day hasn’t done much wrong of late, winning twice in four starts since Simone claimed him, but note that leading rider Paco Lopez, aboard for all four, lands on our top choice instead… #2 Uninvited Guest arrives off a win versus lesser…

RACE 4: 6-9-10-1

#6 Kazillion has run faster (and against better) than these, and despite the long layoff, she appears to be in roughly similar form… #9 Mi Amoi makes her career debut for trainer Josue Arce and is the first foal out of a six-time winner… #10 Mom Esterina keeps running good races and has plentiful early speed…

RACE 5: 2-1-4-5

#2 Federal Exchange’s dismal record is belied by his good recent form; last was better than it looks, as he survived multiple speed challengers before a trip-sitting rival picked him up late; that runner repeated… #1 Nano Man overcame a troubled trip to prevail in latest…#4 Trophy Room can move forward in his second off the bench…

RACE 6: 4-3-1-6

#4 When We Do We Do ran a good one on debut to miss narrowly behind Holy Moly Mitole, who’d previously been second in a Laurel maiden special; show horse Pea Ridge graduated in follow-up…#3 Yauprissy gets blinkers on after a pair of tries in which he was sluggish getting away from the gate…

RACE 7: 6-1-3-2

#6 Dynamic Actress has run a bunch of good races on the turf but also ran well in her only prior dirt outing, winning easily in an off-the-turf event… #1 Bourbon N Lace makes her third start of the form cycle… #3 Delray was in really good form and could come right back to that, but we didn’t much care for her latest when she didn’t fire despite a perfect setup…

RACE 8: 6-2-7-3

#6 Combat Hoofs won nicely two back before running a solid race when third against better last out; gets a helpful bit of class relief today… #2 Mabee Luckynwild didn’t break very well in latest going four furlongs at Timonium, but if she can get back to her normal ways, she’ll be in front early here… #7 Three Polks is another with early zip and arrives in good form…
