This Bay Colt is sired by Atreides and was first seen on the track for the first time back in September when he ran his first race in the Hoosier Racing Bargin Bred which was a 5 furlong race for residency members.  He came out and ran third in the race.  He then stepped into a Maiden Allowance of which he won.  This horses most recent trip to the track came on 12/26/2020 in another residency race, Hoosier Racing No Snow Open Allowance which ran here in Florida.  He had a bad trip that day and crossed the wire in a disappointing ninth place.  He is back here in Florida for this race and will have jockey, V Jef from Idaho in the saddle to help guild him.

This Roan Colt was sired by Constitution and has eight career starts with four wins to his credit.  He is coming into this race after two straight Allowance wins.  In December he ran in California going 8 furlongs in a $48700 NW3L Allowance of which he closed nicely down the stretch to pick up the win.  His most recent race was on 01/23/2020 in Minnesota where he again went 8 furlongs in a $14600 NW3x Allowance of which he picked up another big win by almost four lengths.  The owner has now turned his eye to Florida to see what this nice looking horse has got and has called in jockey, B F Abman from Kentucky to come in and take the mount for this trip.

This Bay Colt is a son of McCraken that broke his Maiden here in Florida back in November with a very nice run at 8.5 furlongs.  He then returned to the track for his most recent race which was on 01/12/2021 which was again here in Florida.  He ran 8 furlongs in a $43800 NW2L Allowance and did not show up ready to run and could not put together a good race.  He ran flat way back in the field and crossed the wire in eighth.  We will hope that was just an off day and that this horse can rebound from that race with jockey, R Bokie from Virginia in the saddle to help this horse settle in for this outing.

This Roan Filly was sired by Keen Ice and things have been kind of frigid for her thus far in her career.  She has been unable to break her Maiden and has yet to hit the boards in any of her five career starts.  The owner is really going to give her a big test as she runs in this race on Saturday and see if he can find some extra spark in her running against a better field of horses.  Without surprise she will be going off as the longest choice in the morning line and will need to show she can step up her game when jockey, J Benisz from New Jersey takes to the saddle to see if he can pull out a better effort from this filly.

This Bay Colt was sired by Palace and he is coming into this race with six career starts of which he has found the boards in five of those races.  His last three races have all been at the Listed Stakes level starting back in November of last year with an outing in Turkey in the Polish Reality Dirt Juvenile of which he finished fifth.  He then came over to Wyoming in December to run in the Out Within Power Dirt Juvenile of which he finished up second.  His most recent trip came on 01/17/2020 again running in Wyoming in the Thor aus Dirt Sprint going 6.5 furlongs and came in second just missing by a quarter.  This horse has never ran around two turns before and we will need to see how he handles this increased distance.  Jockey, R Stacy from Indiana will be coming in to take the ride up top for this race.

This Bay Colt was sired by Orb and in four career starts has hit the boards twice, but has thus far failed to break his Maiden.  His owner brings him here to see if he can spark some extra interest out of his horse as he continues to improve.  This will be a big jump in Class for this horse against some tough competition.  But with extra effort in this race he may hang with them here in Florida.  His most recent race came on 01/06/2021 when he traveled 9 furlongs in a Maiden race in Kentucky.  He stayed with it in this race and crossed the wire in second.  For this race the owner calls in jockey, Q Piekarski from Arizona to take to the irons for this trip and help guide his horse against this tough field of horses.

This Brown Gelding was sired by Twirling Uncle and in five career starts he has found his way to the boards in four of those races.  He has yet to pick up an Allowance win although this horse continues to show improvements.  His most recent trip to the track came here in Florida in the Hoosier Racing No Snow Open Allowance.  He struggled in this race and for the first time in his career he missed hitting the boards when he crossed the wire back in fifth.  The owner has placed the call to find jockey, E Seifert from Argentina available to fly in and take the mount up top and try to get this gelding back on the boards in this race.

This Bay Gelding was sired by Competitive Edge and has three wins in six career starts.  He previous won the Hoosier Final Look Dirt Colt Stakes back in June of last season.  He has had three Graded starts in his career and he missed hitting the boards in all of those races.  His most recent race came on 12/05/2020 when he traveled 8.5 furlongs in Louisiana in the G3, The Sam’s Town Delta Jockpot where he crossed the wire in ninth with a disappointing trip. His owner drops him back down in Class for this race on Saturday to see if he can get this horse to rebound with a good run.  He will have jockey, W Cahill from Oklahoma in the saddle to see if he can draw out a big run from this gelding.

This Bay Filly was sired by McCraken and she has five career starts and has found the boards in four of those races.  Her only miss was back in June when she ran in the Hoosiers Final Look Dirt Fillies Stakes when she crossed the wire in fourth.  She went on to break her Maiden and pick up an Allowance win.  Her last time out came on 12/04/2020 in Illinois when she ran 8.5 furlongs in a $45000 Allowance of which she came in third.  She looked like she could travel further in that race and thus this added half furlong could be to her liking.  She will get the services of jockey, N Lawton from New York to see if he can get this filly to the boards against a tough field of boys in this race.

This Bay Colt was sired by Afleet Alex who has hit the boards in three of his six starts.  His lightsaber has been a little dull as he has yet to break his Maiden in any of his voyages.  This colt continues to show improvement but he will be facing a tough field of horses in this race as he jumps up in Class.  His most recent trip came on 12/31/2020 in Massachusetts when he ran 8.5 furlongs in a Maiden race of which he briefly grabbed the lead at the third call, but was unable to hold on and thus crossed the wire in second.  The owner calls in jockey, N Bonus from Illinois to take the ride up top and see if a stiff whip can spark some fire in those legs in his stretch run.

The final entry in this race will be this Chestnut Gelding sired by Connect.  He has yet to break his Maiden in five career starts but has found a couple of second place finishes.  His last trip to the track came on 12/31/2020 in Brazil when he traveled 8.5 furlongs in a Maiden outing of which he crossed the wire in distant fourth.  For this race on Saturday the owner has placed a call to Massachusetts to find jockey, B Scott ready to take the ride up top.  He will need to bring his bag of tricks and a snappy whip to get this horses attention and remain competitive.

Good luck to all owners and horses!
