1 106372 DARKDOUN(IRE) peepsclaim J Kohlmorgen 5/2

GALILEO (IRE) x PEINTRE CELEBRE (IRE) x CAERLEON

Cobra Kai Racing Stables trains this 5yrold who has had 30 starts for 7 wins and 13 placings. Winning nearly $800,000 in stakes he has mixed form at this distance at this grade . He was a great 2^nd in the World Cup Turf Marathon — Restricted-G1 with a 110sp. Normally a leader he some times gets caught late in the race . Lead to the last furlong last time out in the Sand Castle Golden Turf Classic-G1 if his jockey can secure him an economical trip in front he may hold them all at bay.

PALACE MUSIC x WARNING(GB) x HABITAT

Whisper Stables trains this 5yrold the winner of 6 from 18 he has been patiently handle by his previous trainer through the allowance grade with great success. He then surprisingly entered in a claimer where the astute olwhisper claimed him and entered him into stakes company in his last 2 starts for a 2^nd and a 3^rd over 14f he has won over 12f and this race may well be his best chance to pick up graded honours.

DYNAFORMER x FORTY NINER x KINGMAMBO

OJAI VALLEY STABLES train this blueblood 4yrold the winner of $2,737,190 in stakes and the winner of 11 from 17 a truly brilliant performance by team Kirby . Won the Sand Castle Golden Turf Classic-G1 last time out and a repeat of that performance will see him distance this field he recorded a 113sp in that race and beat some of the sims best 12f horses including LEX LUTHOR & RAPID GREY so aptly named he could be Kirby’s best yet and maybe the sims best who knows only time will tell but at 4 he is well on his way.

COZZENE x THEATRICAL(IRE) x MANILA

375stud Stables this 4yrold from the graded placed mare SWEET SUNSHYNE(IRE) he has only raced 7 times so far for 3 wins and 3 placings he has come a long way in a short time but may find this a little tough at this early stage of his career. Will race handy and may fill a place here.

EMPIRE MAKER THEATRICAL(IRE) NIJINSKY II

Another well bred runner trained by Australian trainer Snappa Racing Syndicate he is a 12f specialist with 15 starts at the distance for 5 wins and 4 seconds including wins in The Master-G1 and this race the CEO Classic-G2 12 months ago not many horses win the same race twice so it will be a great feat if he can pull this one off. No stranger to graded racing measuring up to the greatest horses in the sim and makes this a great contest even with a small field. His lead up racing has been perfect and he looks trained to the minute.

ANNOUNCE CRUSADER SWORD BOLD REASONING

A very interesting career of 4 starts to date a 4^th as a 2yrold 2 years ago in a 5.5f stakes race then an 8^th earlier this year in a 8.5f dirt msw race then a win in a maiden claimer over 13f and a hugh jump to win an allowance race over 12 f last time out wow this would be the greatest boilover of all time if he wins god luck to his trainer River Ridge Farms every underdog in the sim is cheering for you.
