A field of fourteen horses will line up for a Hoosier Racing Restricted Residency Listed Stakes, the Makers Mark Sprint. This residency race is being sponsored by a Hoosier Racing member, Baggio and there will be an added Bonus to the top three finishers in the form of Credits. This race will travel 6 furlongs over the dirt in Kentucky and is restricted to 2 year olds. To give a little history regarding Maker’s Mark, it is a small-batch bourbon whiskey produced in Loretto, Kentucky, by Beam Suntory. It is bottled at 90 U.S. proof (45% alcohol by volume) and sold in squarish bottles sealed with red wax. The distillery offers tours, and is part of the American Whiskey Trail and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. The first production of Maker’s Mark began in 1954. We have a nice looking field of horses that will be running in the Makers Mark Sprint this Saturday and the odds makers have formulated their morning line odds. With the post positions now drawn let us take a quick preview of the horses that will be running in Kentucky on Saturday in the Makers Mark Sprint.
| 1 | DEVILS KNOB | KY | 2G | commonwealths | J Yount | 4 | 1 | 75% | $49,280 | 0.13 | 19/1 |
This Chestnut Gelding was sired by Daredevil. In four starts he has found the boards in three of his races with one of those hits coming in his last time out on the turf. He has a top speed rating of 73 and may need to find a little extra kick in this race.
| 2 | CINNAMON GIRL B | PA | 2G | joydevil | V Ward | 4 | 3 | 100% | $73,180 | 12.00 | 5/1 |
Here is a Light Grey Gelding sired by Uncle Vinny. He has four prior starts and has never missed hitting the boards in any of his races. Last time out in Florida he picked up a nice win going 5.5 furlongs in a $34,100 NW3L Allowance with an 88 speed rating. Could challenge here in Kentucky.
| 3 | TARTON NOTION | KY | 2G | hoosier13 | J Godby | 4 | 2 | 75% | $75,655 | Sponsor | 7/1 |
This is a Bay Gelding sired by City Of Lights. He has hit the boards in three of his four starts, but the last time out in Arizona he tried two turns at the 8 furlong distance of which he missed as he crossed the wire in fourth with an 81 speed rating. He drops back down to sprint this time out and looks to improve.
| 4 | HIGHLAND TRICK | IRE | 2G | mlafort4 | K Chesterman | 5 | 1 | 100% | $22,955 | 5.00 | 18/1 |
This Bay Gelding sired by Highland Reel in his five starts has never missed hitting the boards. He looks to do the same here on Saturday. Last time out he ran in China and placed second going 6 furlongs in a $24,300 NW2L Allowance just missing the wire first when he got caught late in his gate to wire attempt. He has a top speed of 77 and could still challenge regardless of his morning line odds.
| 5 | INCITING THE MOB B | KY | 2G | zbarb3 | P Jazz | 4 | 2 | 100% | $38,430 | 4.00 | 7/1 |
Here we have a Bay Gelding who is a scratch bred (CATHOLIC BOY x DIXIELAND BAND x ALYDAR) who has hit the boards in all four of his career starts. He is coming into Saturday’s race off of two straight wins. Last time out in Michigan going 5.5 furlongs he closed down the stretch to get up for the win with an 84 speed rating. Has a good play for the wire in Kentucky.
| 6 | MUSICAL SHEBA | KY | 2M | startrek | M Hibby | 2 | 1 | 50% | $35,406 | 0.00 | 10/1 |
This Bay Colt is a scratch bred (MACLEAN’S MUSIC x ALYSHEBA x NUREYEV) and has two starts and came up with a win in California his last time out going 6.5 furlongs to break his Maiden with an 80 speed rating. He has no Allowance history coming into this race, but looks to improve on that speed as he jumps up in Class.
| 7 | ADMIRE LUKA | JPN | 2M | manon | Y Kester | 1 | 1 | 100% | $3,000 | 0.00 | 6/1 |
This Bay Colt was sired by Admire Moon and he has one prep race to his credit of which he got up for the win in Florida. He looks to challenge a tougher field this time out after breaking his Maiden and takes a jump in Class after that 78 speed in a Hot Race.
| 8 | TAKE CHARGE REGAL | KY | 2F | scout10 | L Dorchak | 0 | 0 | 0% | $0 | 0.00 | 10/1 |
Next out we have this Brown Filly that was sired by Take Charge Indy. She has no racing history and will be a first time starter as she takes on this open field. The breeding looks good, but will she have the experience to find a hit on the boards?
| 9 | DOW JONES | IN | 2M | hoosier20 | S Lynch | 5 | 0 | 20% | $3,250 | Sponsor | 45/1 |
This Bay Colt was sired by Dowsing who has five starts and has found the boards in one of his races. He has a top speed rating of 71 and will need to find some more fire in his legs to contend in this field as he goes off as one of the longer choices in the morning line.
| 10 | MY WHITE BICYCLE | KY | 2G | tarton16 | J Guiterrez | 4 | 2 | 75% | $30,285 | 4.00 | 8/1 |
This Brown Gelding was sired by Dialed In and has raced four times and found three hits on the boards. He is coming into this race off of two straight wins. Last time out he ran 6 furlongs in Vermont in a $24,300 NW1x Allowance of which he got up for the win and posted an 80 speed rating. He looks for three wins in a row if he can get up in Kentucky.
| 11 | FED EXCHANGE | KY | 2G | tarton5 | T Mauricio | 4 | 0 | 0% | $1,798 | 0.00 | 58/1 |
Here we have a Light Grey Gelding that was sired by Fed Biz who has four prior starts and has never found a hit to the boards. He is going off as one of the longer choices in this field and will have much to prove when he steps out on the dirt here in Kentucky.
| 12 | CHEEKY CREED | KY | 2G | chillingfarms3 | R Taylor | 4 | 1 | 25% | $28,041 | 0.00 | 13/1 |
Next is this Bay Gelding that was sired by Jimmy Creed who has four starts and one hit on the boards. His first time out in Argentina back in March of this year he broke his Maiden when he traveled 4.5 furlongs. Since that race and having to face Allowance contenders he has been unable to find the boards again. He has a high of 71 speed rating of which he hopes to improve.
| 13 | GO GET IT INDY | KY | 2M | fantasticfour | A Ramirez | 2 | 1 | 100% | $30,220 | 4.00 | 5/1 |
This is a Chestnut Colt that is a scratch bred (TAKE CHARGE INDY x NUREYEV x AFFIRMED) who has two career starts and has found the boards in both of those races. He broke his Maiden going 5.5 furlongs in South Africa and then came back out for his most recent race in Arizona at the same distance in a Listed Stakes, White Stripe Dirt Juvenile of which he placed third. He could be tough here in Kentucky.
| 14 | LUKA MARSH | CAN | 2G | mariana4 | K Bortz | 1 | 1 | 100% | $20,220 | 0.00 | 13/1 |
This Chestnut Colt sired by Mank will break from the far outside gate. He has only one start which was in a Local Maiden race in Ontario. He easily handled the field in his début going gate to wire with an 80 speed rating. Coming to Kentucky will be this horse’s second start as he jumps up in Class looking to prove a contender.
