Coming off a 3rd place finish in the BIGBAD RABBIT STAKES in WEST VIRGINIA. I know the trainer is pointing this colt for another win in the BARGAIN BOWL CLASSIC. His late closing style could set up real nice for this race. He finished 4th in this same race last year and picks up the services of the meets #2 jock. Over last 5 races has an average SP of 99.2. |
2. CHEESE N MAC T a 4yo colt by MISWAKI and trained by cash stable has a record of 4-5-4 from 32 starts and earnings of 153,293.

3. TANGIBLE a 4yo colt by RED BULLET and trained by accountant has a record of 5-3-2 from 21 starts and earnings of 66,077. His last start in the MEMPHIS RULE was 8th beaten 7 ¾ lengths.

This old timer won last time out in a Conditioned Allowance race going wire to wire. Out of his 13 wins only 5 have come in Stakes Competition. He still fires the big race occasionally but will need an extra oxygen tank at the top of the stretch today. Over his last 5 races he has an average SP of 97.2. |
6. TWO TWELVE a 3yo colt by FORESTRY and trained by 1stclass has a record of 7-1-2 from 15 starts and earnings of 486,099. This colt was originally entered in the JOCKEY GUILD GOLD CUP but didn’t have enough points to get in the field. In his last race a 3yo Allowance he won easily that day. His previous and only start against older horses he was 3rd in the CARNIVAL KID STAKES. He won the 3yo division of the SMACKDOWN going wire to wire.

7. GINGER a 4yo colt by STORM CAT and trained by coug has a record of 3-6-4 from 25 starts and earnings of 79,870.this is another colt coming off an Allowance win going wire to wire. He barely held on in that one going 9.5 furlongs. Check his back races and 10 furlongs looks to be a little to far for him. Over his last 5 races he has an average SP of 90.2. That won’t cut it here today. |
