Without as much turf experience as others in the field, Scafati was overlooked by most bettors, or people in the Pick ‘em, as only 5.4% of participants felt that he was the one to beat. He was not one of our picks either, but did seem like an interesting longshot to potentially play.

The Inaugural Untapable Stakes Runs at KD Sunday
For the first time, The Untapable Stakes will be run here at HRP, and it was somewhat of a late addition to the stakes schedule. There are very few opportunities of this stature for the two year fillies on the grass, and even though this is not a graded stake, it’s large purse and influence on the BC in about three months makes it very appealing.

It should therefore come as no surprise that the starting gate is filled to capacity with a field of fourteen ready to take part. The BC points that are on the line also offer a nice incentive.
