Grade II Horseshoe Falls Stakes

1. 72581 THE VANGUARD vanguard 11/1. A 4yo colt by Sadler’s Well with only 6 starts but with a nice record of 6(3,1,2). Has run 3 times in long distance races, winning his 1st 2 then finishing 2nd in his first stakes try. Likes to pull away from the pack early but might have company with the #3 in here. Might not win but he should be their to collect a check at the end.

2. 81875 HUNGRY TRICK dpl 6/1. The old timer in the race at 11yo, he’s by Bitter Rain. Only has 32 starts and has been running ok for his age but not consistent. Out of his last 6 races 5 were long routes, he has a win and 2nd in couple stakes but that was since May. He then lost 2 stakes races by 8 & 9 lengths before winning a 12f allowance lto. TO win he’ll have to improve his SP since his last was only a 92.

3. 95054 EPIC STEAM waremblem6 7/2. A 4yo colt by More Than Ready, has 18 starts but none on turf. His record in his last 6 long distance races is a nice 6(1,4,0). Hasn’t won much but is always there at the end. He like #1 are the lone frontrunners in the race, he does have some of the highest SP’s in the race from his last couple of races. If he likes the turf is the question, he should be their to collect a check at the end.

4. 34924 INFINITE WISDOM leestroyer 6/1. A 4yo colt by Kingmambo. He has won all 4 of his last four long distance races on a dry track. Three were stakes races and 1 included a huge 106 SP where he closed from 19 lengths back to win. With #1 and #3 in here who might pull away from everyone, this colt will probably come flying late to pick up the pieces. Good Chance to win or make the top 3.

5. 79128 DEMONS BE DRIVEN soulbleed 17/1. A 5yo horse by Fantastic Light. He’s only run one decent race in out of his last 8 races. That was a 9f allowance race finishing 3rd three races back. Has been getting 80’s and lower 90’s SP’s, chances don’t look too good but you never know.

6. 106810 BLACK LISTED sdmfclaims 16/1. The only filly in this race, she a 4yo filly by Lear Fan with 8 in the $ placings from 14 turf starts. Two of her last 3 were long distance races. She finished 2nd in both, a 12f allowance and 11 stakes. She did face the boys once in a 9f allowance, which she won. She also is a front/near the pace runner. She could possibly pick up a check.

7. 30384 YOKO BONE O sirbarton 2/1. A 5yo horse by Yokohama, he’s the 2/1 favorite here, has 13 wins from 32 starts but 11 were in dirt races. Has only 4 races on turf which include his last 2 races which were both 12f turf stakes in which he won easily closing from behind. He has good consistent SP’s and with the hot pace up front he should be there at the end to make a run. Could win, should make the top 3.

8. 54909 COZY DELTA airtiger 4/1. A 4yo colt by Cape Canaveral. He has an amazing 9 wins from 20 turf starts. His last 3 races were all long distance races where he has a 6th in a G2 at 12f, but won his other 2 which were a 12f stakes and lto a 11f G3. However they were on wet tracks. His SP’s are decent enough to say he should collect a check though.

9. 101988 SEA ALL STAR dvtka1 13/1. The youngster in here at 3yo, he’s by Sahm. He has 3 wins from 7 turf starts. He has 1 long distance race which was at 12f on the dirt 2 races back where he finished 2nd with a 88 SP. His highest turf SP is only a 91 and that was eight races back in a 8.5f turf stakes win. I think he too young and needs to mature a little more before he takes on older, but anything can happen.
