RACE 1: 2-1-4-5
#2 GRUNGE is a first timer by Beau Liam who worked very sharply at auction. He is out of a dam who scored on debut and is kin to graded stakes winner Divine Miss Grey. The worktab looks good and this barn is more than capable of having one ready to win on debut.
RACE 2: 5-2-3-4
#5 TIME TO WIN is kin to Juju’s Map, a Grade I winner as a 2YO who was precocious to begin her career. The worktab here looks good and the price will be fair in a pretty competitive looking field.
RACE 3: 11-3-10-9
#11 TRINITY RIVER returns off a layoff and his prior turf races are all very good. He will have to overcome a wide outside post here but has enough speed to get into the mix from the outset.
RACE 4: 1A-7-4-12
#1A WILLINTORISKITALL goes second off a claim for Rick Dutrow, Jr. and should be close early given his speed. He ran well off the claim last time out and should be in a good position from the opening bell.
RACE 5: 2-4-1-6
#2 CAREER RISK takes a big class drop second time out for Chad Brown after debuting against 100k maiden sellers. He should improve with experience and adds blinkers for this engagement. He should have enough speed to be a factor from the start.
RACE 6: 9-6-4-5
#9 SAINT MARGARET went for big money at auction as a 2YO and is by a 17% turf sprint sire. She is training well for Jimmy Ryerson and should be a major player on debut. This barn can have one ready on debut.
RACE 7: 1-4-3-10
#1 CUE THE DUCKBOATS invades from Kentucky after breaking her maiden two back then finishing a competitive third last time out. She was away from the gate poorly in her first try against winners and can be a major threat here from just off the pace.
RACE 8: 9-8-6-1
#9 CURLIN’S ANGEL is a third time starter who had some trouble second time out for Jorge Abreu. She was a very impressive debut winner from well off the pace and should be a major threat in the closing stages this afternoon.
RACE 9: 6-5-3-8
#6 SOLDIER N DIPLOMAT was a smashing maiden winner on debut for Steve Asmussen and now comes back for a second career start. He has the tactical speed to stalk and pounce today as one of the outsiders in this group from an odds perspective.
RACE 10: 4-3-9-1
#4 CAIRO CAPER is interesting off a wide trip in the Secretariat on a day where the rail was the place to be. He will get a strong pace to run at in the closing stages of this affair at a big price to boot.
RACE 11: 9-5-3-6
#9 EVERY VOTE COUNTS is a second timer who gets Lasix after a debut sprinting for Chad Brown. She has trained well for the return down at Monmouth and should be wound tighter for this engagement.
