The SIR TESTIMONY Memorial
Finally, no 2yo stake this week! We’re on the grass with eight 3yos. fairly evenly matched.
Turf is firm for this long sprint, and it looks like a tight race.

1 | INCREDIBLE MOJO | 9/2 | Colts momma has produced decent runners, although not anything spectacular. Colt hasn’t tried the grass as of yet. Looking back at previous offspring of his mare, he may just be better off on dirt. Tough to back him at 9/2 odds. | |||
2 | TRYORDIE | 3/1 |
Bred out of a “C” rated mare, this colt has been knocking at the door for his last 5 tries. Should be stalking the pace. If the jock isn’t on the wagon or doing drugs, he has a great chance in here. Honest as the sun rising. | |||
3 | ON HOLD | 7/2 |
Mama didn’t do grass, but this young fella enjoys its aroma. Last two out were his worst finishes in quite some time, but I look for that to change. He has 9 W’s and 9 pl.’s in 24 starts. Top jock Ross in the irons will get the most out of his speed. 1st out on this oval, which favors speed. | |||
4 | TWO CUPS | 10/1 |
My nag. May pick up a minor check as the longest shot in the field. | |||
5 | MR. BANDITO | 4/1 |
Bred to a “he-mare” that loved the green stuff. Ranked 17th in his division, mostly from what he did as a 2yo. Last 4 races have been sub par from his previous ventures in his stake’s outings. In a race where the competition is fairly close, he may be back to his old ways. Jock could use a vitamin shot though. | |||
6 | PRETEND | 7/1 |
Out of a mare who split her winnings on dirt and turf. Still eligible for NW3L and has been sidelined for awhile after a blowout race in last. May be a pretender here. | |||
7 | PROSPECTOR’S | 9/1 |
Scratch bred Storm Boot colt, who hit his highest SP in last, passing tired horses. Probably will be well back early and try to close on the far turn. Not quite sure he has the kick to pose a big threat. | |||
8 | WILDFORESTCREATURE | 8/1 |
3rd foal out of a very lightly raced mare. He’s the best one yet, being stake’s placed in only 10 outings. Likes the distance and has a fairly decent kick while laying off the pace. Jock Wimpy is due to get hot and just may give this guy the ride he needs. Should be there at the end. |
