Ran an amazing 119 speed rating in its penultimate race, back in August in a listed event. Tries G1 company for its second time where it just missed on the synthetic. With a lack of a graded win and Inconsistent history, I think a win is possible here. The added extra distance is also a question mark. You’re call?
This four-year colt likes to run close to the pace and appears to have gone off form in his last two races. He does his best running on the lead and would be a threat if it should clear the field early on. Asrstar is a sneaky trainer in big races. This one wouldn’t be a surprise since winning the “Grumpy Old Men Marathon a Few races back. The better option of an uncoupled entry.
This lightly raced four-year-old has been impressive winning five of its last six including the G1 Razorback earning a 114-speed rating. King Kam gets a rematch against the winner of its last start in “The Monster Mash” nonviolent Kill whom we will see a bit later. Strong contender again at an amazing 16-1.
This gelding comes off a second-place finish in the G1 “Seattle Stayer” where it ran a 108 behind Grandezza in the. Customizer ran third in this race last year and I think he was a bit faster back then. Picking up a paycheck is possible but don’t see a top spot this time around. Rider Ron Hanson returns to try to regain the “Desert Stamina” G1 glory.
This daughter of Tapit has won three graded events against her kind to get here. She would have to sprout wings to beat the top males in this field. Taking on the boys looks like proverbial suicide. The owner should be proud of her I question the placement. Jabuk is uber-talented, I just don’t like her in this spot. Connections will get to enjoy a nice buffet in the owner’s box courtesy of the Breeder Bowl LLC.
This one has developed second-itis in listed races and is winless in four graded attempts. If “All You Are” runs well, I would be expecting a tenth-second-place finish to her resume. A minor share is possible but seems hard-pressed to make it into the exacta. Should earn well next season on a drop in class.
This three-year-old has been in the money in eight of his ten starts. His only graded attempt was a second-place finish in the “New Yorker” A tough spot here to take on older horses for the First time. If you think she can hang with the older horses in here you get a juicy 24-1 for the speculation.
This deep closer always seems to make a strong late run while usually racing in another Zip code. This Malibu Moon son comes off his best race in the G3 “The Molson Export”. Another strong rally is expected if he can handle the class jump to G1 company. If you see a blur streaking late down the lane expect it to most likely be “Beer on the Wall”
This beautifully named son of Distorted Humor is the second option for Master stable “Tenpoint” from the Asr residency. His last win came in the G3 “Atlanta Cup” back in April. Should be forwardly placed in the early going. Capable of one of the minor awards. Must rebound off a poor effort in the Monster Mash”
Another filly taking on the boys here. The two girls in this race took turns beating each other In two graded filly stayer races. Romantika has earned her way here but again seems up against it. Hard to support her against her older male counterparts. This Drosselmeyer daughter is probably the better of the two fillies in this race.
Top Sim trainer Lenny sends out a royally bred scratch bred that hasn’t disappointed. The “Monster Mash” winner (117) comes back to defend his amazing performance after already beating some of these runners. Nonviolent kill seems to be peaking now and could be the favorite on the board by Post time. Any experienced trainer knows that most runners get better with age and this one is no exception.
The good news: Impressive breeder Stocksami sends out this six-year-old son of Ghostzapper Who has won all thirteen of his races on the Polytrack including two graded events. The bad news: King Is off the board in all five of his dirt attempts. Hard to recommend this One on a dirt surface. Seeing the winner’s circle here is possible but not likely.
This son of Sharmardal is out of a mare that won over 3 million dollars on the turf. Grandezza has also been impressive winning 2 graded races on the turf. Trainer Frankster Decided to give this one a dirt race in the “Seattle Stayer” in last. He was rewarded with a Three and three-quarters victory in Washington earning a 110-speed rating. Looks like he will Follow after his mom showing greatness on the sim tracks near you.
This runner’s claim to fame is winning the G1 “The Big Apple” back in Dec of 2021. Beaten by a few of these in past in graded events including the “Seattle Stayer” in last By Grandezza. The other deep closer in the field has a good chance to hit the board. Don’t think the awful post position will hinder chances. Playable at 11-1.
Nice job, Sammy! Thanks for helping out.
