A G2 event for 3 year olds and up going 5 1/2 furlongs on the weeds. This special race we have the Breeders Cup Turf Mile winner and the Breeders Cup Turf Sprint winner.
- General Patton trained by Threshold: Coming off an allowance race win at Tampa this horse is taking a huge step up in class and will have to improve to get his picture taken today.
- Arctic Circle trained by Robeth: This horse can run any distance from 5/8 to a flat mile but has not been able to find his best lick yet trying 5 1/2 today maybe will be his calling.
- Mojave Rattler trained by Mo Mentum Farm: After his win in the Breeders Cup Turf Mile has been very dissapointing since then. shortening up may be the key.
- Dominant Force trained by John Henry: Comes out of an allowance race where he won sitting just off the pace. He will have to step up today to be in the mix.
- Laffin Funky trained by Maxmillion Farm: If they go slow he can sit just off of them if they are cooking up top he can settle further back and make a late run. Tough horse in this race.
- Show Shocker trained by Maxmillion Farm: This horse is a rabbit for his stable mate. He has shown speed going a flat mile on the grass but not sure if he can find the lead against this speedy field.
- SCRATCHED
- Blurred Return trained by LionKing Stables: In 21 starts he has ran on the grass twice. This horse will be a big outsider looking in today.
- Gleaming Spirit trained by Mb Stables: This Breeders Cup Turf Sprint champion comes in here on a three race win streak. Also has won 7 out of his last nine races. The rest of the field might have to grow wings to catch this one.
- Van Wilder trained by Fractious: This horse has ran some very good numbers but I do not think this horse wants any part of 5 1/2.
Good Luck To All!
