- Show Ya Oysters Mm Racing Castellano J J
Recently won at WO against Optional Claimer Non Winners of 3 races $62.500 where he won by a length. Prior to that win he also won on the dirt at GP against Allowance Non Winners of 1 race. Will stretch out for his next race, but could be a threat if he can get an easy lead. His SRF number is 94.5.
- Broomsticks Wiggy Drabfantasy Alabarado R J
Broke his Maiden at first asking on the sod at FG in February going against Maidens for a purse of $37.000 where he won by two lengths. Since then he has been thrown against Grade III and Grade I company, and has failed in both attempts. What you need to know is both of those races were on the sod, and most likely were his chances of trying to get into the KYD Grade I that is going to occur later today. His owner realizing he doesn’t like the main track is switching him back to the sod, and is going to continue to stretch him out. Tough call here. His SRF number is 90.5.
- Pink Flag Century Acres Farm Lanerie C J
This horse was purchased in the March Auction for $333.770 from his breeder. He made one start since the purchase at KEE in the BG Stakes Grade I where he finished in a dead heat for 7th. With that said his last win was against California Breds in an Optional Claimer $20.000 Non Winners of 2 races where he came from off the pace to win by ¾ of a length. Stepping up big here again, so another tough call. His SRF number is 92.
- Friday Thirteenth Australia Wide Caraballo J C
Has done well since being gelded. He broke his Maiden at first asking after being gelded to win by two lengths at 5 furlongs on the sod at GP. His next start was also at GP facing Allowance Non Winners of 1 race where he won in a dead heat going a mile. Tries Stakes company today, and could make it three in a row. His SRF Number is 92.5.
- Xmas Grey Blushing Meadows Lopez P
Has one win in 8 starts. Was sold in September for $60.00 and has only hit the board once and that was in the Davis Stakes Grade III event at TAM in February. He has never been on the sod in a race, and will try it for the very first time against stakes company. A lot of unknowns here too. His SRF number is 90.5.
- Thats The Truth TwinTowersRacing Bejarano R
Recently broke his Maiden at WO in April going 7 furlongs after 5 career starts. With that said he is going to try his luck at Grade II company, and see if he can get the job done. That is a huge step up for this three year old colt. His SRF number is 87.5.
- Valiant Charge Threshold Pennington F
Recently won an Optional Claimer $25.000 Non Winners of 3 races at PRX back in March. Prior to that you would have to look at November of last year to find his last win which was at RP going 7.5 furlongs on the sod where he won against Optional Claimers $30.000 Non Winners of 2 races. I think this is a huge step up for him. He did finish second in the Kittens Joy in January at GP going a mile on the sod. His SRF number is 95.
- Eastern Townships Chili King Stables Leparoux J R
Recently won the Grade III Transylvania Stakes at KEE going today’s distance in April for a purse of $100.000. Prior to that he ran second by a neck in the TX Heritage Stakes at the same distance at HOU. Three back he finished third by a length after having the lead in the Kittens Joy at GP in January. His SRF number is 97.
