Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund Awareness Day.
FIRST RACE
Cozy Kitten...Round on the drop?
Sharp Omar... Similar scenario.
Midnight Notes.
Coturnix.
SECOND RACE
Tricky Citizen...Full sib Trickmeister won first five including three stakes.
Czarmo...Sib Bagration won debut.
Sticksstatelydude...First for Kiaran after an OK debut effort.
Ready Dancer.
THIRD RACE
Loose on the Town...Taking a shot that this one might have more in the tank and will be able to move forward off the debut win.
Roll Tide Roll...Moves into Pletcher barn off of solid efforts in Ky. Johnny V rides.
Knuckle Curve...Was the latest believable - or an aberration?
Political Justice.
FOURTH RACE
Future Show...Might be precocious. Malibu Moonon top. Sib Daring Dancer won first three. Sib Hamp was 3,1 in first two.
Vouch for Kitten... Nice improvement start #1 to start #2.
Coming Attraction...Clearly capable and Johnny V rides.
Strong Incentive.
FIFTH RACE - G2 $200K Amsterdam
March...Ripped off two sprint stakes wins in last two starts.
Barbados...Should benefit from comebacker.
The Great War...Might rebound to top effort with return to sprint.
Holy Boss.
SIXTH RACE
Security Risk...AE list. Seems an improved 3YO.
Lone Trader...Tried limited winners last time and ran decently despite a blazing pace.
Overcontrol...Won debut nicely for Pletcher/Repole. Follow-up was a dud - and now they try turf. Hmmm...
Gustnado.
Dreaming of Gold.
Rock Eagle.
SEVENTH RACE
Codrington College...My man Sheppard sends out one that is just too koo-koo to ignore! This isn't the scenario I look for in a typical Sheppard Special - but what the heck, I can't be sitting on the sidelines if this one manages to shock the Spa.
Macagone...Will try to take them all the way - which will require clearing the field from the outside post.
Go Around...Mott trainee put in a good try at this level last time.
Request.
EIGHTH RACE - G1 $350K Vanderbilt Hcp
Salutos Amigos...The one to beat if he fires his shot.
Rock Fall...Can't knock the five-race win-streak.
The Big Beast...Ran big here last summer.
Favorite Tale.
NINTH RACE - G2 $250K Bowling Green Hcp
Innovation Economy...Might have some pace to shoot at.
Imagining...Also capable of closing - or stalking.
War Dancer...Has speed and any of the speeds is capable of slipping away - which might make them tough to run down late... But, which one slips away?
Red Rifle.
TENTH RACE - G2 $600K Jim Dandy
Japan... Perhaps getting too cute but in a field that is expected to get hit with scratches this one might be able to lead an unusally short field all the way. And trainer Mott is red-hot.
Frosted...Likely the one to beat.
Texas Red...Last years G1 BC Juvie winner has run second twice this season - but is clearly capable.
Frammento.
ELEVENTH RACE
Unrepenting...'Blinkers on' is a solid move for the trainer - and she also does well with turf sprinters and this guy seemed to improve last time with the move to grass.
Draft Day...Solid debut - could be any kind (well, any kind at this kind of level...).
Dark Roast...Clearly fits - but trainer is one-fer 2015.
Banana Thief.
Pegasus Red.
Tax Package.
