Six three-year-olds go to the post in today’s feature at the beautiful Paris Raceway. Morning line odds go from 6/5 to 11/1 so it could turn out to be a good race coming down the stretch, first of all we have a couple of qualifiers for the Liken It Local series facing off again for the first time since their 2 year old race in December.

PP 6

LORD KUNG FU(IRE) owner : stalfred

LORD SHANAKILL x MEDICEAN (GB) x DANEHILL) Total 7 2 1 1 $55,204 Turf Sprint Rank : 318

This one could be over his head here as there are 3 of the top 100 3yo colts here that look to have promising futures.  Although he has posted a 2nd place finish in the Mr. Bandito Turf Dash -Stk where he was caught at the wire, it could be a rough trip here

Well this race is too close to call for me.  Good luck to all the entrants.
