This is a nice looking Brown Gelding sired by Atreides (ATREIDES x THUNDER GULCH x A.P. INDY).  He seems to have put up some nice speed ratings in his first two starts.  The owner is looking for another good performance out of her Gelding.

He is sired by California Chrome (CALIFORNIA CHROME x DEHERE x FORTY NINER) and he wasted no time in breaking his maiden as the winner of the Hoosier Racing Chop Sticks Juvenile in Japan.  The owner brings his colt to this race in Kentucky to see if he can beat the other residency members again.

Thus far this horse has not performed to expectation, but perhaps he needs some longer races to spark his interest.  This horse is sired by Blame (BLAME x ANIMAL KINGDOM x PIONEEROF THE NILE) and has a good pedigree of which he has yet to live up to.

This horse was bred in Australia and is sired by Capitalist (CAPITALIST (AUS) x REDOUTE’S CHOICE x MONTJEU).  The breeding looks kind of like turf but the owner gives him a workout on dirt and he may swing in both directions in the future?  He had a prep race in Massachusetts on the dirt and is going to give it a go here in Kentucky.

Another colt that was sired by Blame (BLAME x INTO MISCHIEF x UNBRIDLED’S SONG) of which has been showing some promise.  He recently had a nice workout in California and the owner hopes his horse is ready to go on Saturday.

This horse was sired by City Of Lights (CITY OF LIGHT x MALIBU MOON x GIANT’S CAUSEWAY) and he is two for two in his outings.  He looks good here and could put up a good fight if he can get out quick.

This horse broke his maiden nicely his last time out.  This gelding was sired by Mutasallil (MUTASALLIL x AWESOME AGAIN x DISTORTED HUMOR) and he might be a threat even without an Allowance win to his credit.

This horse is a scratch bred (ANY GIVEN SATURDAY x CARSON CITY x UNBRIDLED) and he has made sure to hit the boards in all of his three starts.  He broke his maiden his last time out and looks to continue in improvement.

This horse was sired by Jimmy Creed (JIMMY CREED x INTO MISCHIEF x RED RANSOM) and he broke his maiden the first time out.  But he struggled in his second running.  Perhaps the added distance will help him in this trip.

He was sired by Tapit (TAPIT x AFLEET x BUCKAROO) and in his two maiden starts ran a 71 speed of which was not good enough to catch a win.  This horse could show up better if he has a good run.

This is a nice looking gifted horse from the residency that was sired by Tonalist (TONALIST x CURLIN x EL PRADO).  He performed well on poly his last time out in a Listed Stakes.  What will he do here back on the fast dirt?

This horse is making a big move up in Class, but did win his début in a Maiden Claimer.  The horse was sired by Arctic Bright View (ARCTIC BRIGHT VIEW x MIDSHIPMAN x DEEP IMPACT) and the owner is looking for a successful transition.

The owner shows much confidence in his Gelding sired by Echo Town (ECHO TOWN x STORMY ATLANTIC x AZAMOUR (IRE)), but one can never count Bizalls out of the race.  The horse has a prep under his belt for this start in Kentucky and is ready to take on all contenders.

This horse has four races to his credit and was sired by Rydilluc (RYDILLUC x INVINCIBLE SPIRIT (IRE) x EASY GOER).  He has not shown a lot of effort thus far, but perhaps longer races in his future may spark more interest.

Good luck to all owners and horses!

I thank all members for their participation and wish you and your horses the best of luck in this race.  It is always great to see the membership bringing out their horses and participating in our residency events.  Have a great race and most of all enjoy the game and have fun!
