A field of eleven will be headed to the starting gate for The Very One (GIII) a mile and three-eights marathon for the older ladies, and many of these have deep-rooted distance backgrounds. Against my better judgment, I will go to the rail for my top selection… obviously, not because Superface Party is an Mb trained monster, not because she has over $1.5 in the bank… but the rail can be treacherous in these races, but for… I think this one has the speed to use that inside position to her advantage, set the pace and get the job done.

Another that deserves a big look is Love… the Mo Mentum Farm owned 4yo won seven of eleven in ’25 while putting over $1.0 in her account. That 6f Alw effort was obviously a “warm up” as this one loves to follow Jerry Rice and go long! She will be tough.
