Eleven run in the Cryogenics Juvenile
Cryogenics Juvenile
Grade III
8F
Fast Dirt
All horses, 2 year olds
Welcome to the Cryogenics Juvenile here in Montana. This field is made up of eleven colts trying to capture the Grade III win bragging rights. Without further ado lets meet the 11 horses and trainers:
1) Floyd’s Boy – 9/1 – itcdla
In gate number 1 we have Floyd’s Boy. He has already appeared in 4 graded races but, has yet to get his first graded win. In his last race he was asked to go 6.5 furlongs which did not work out so well for him with a speed of 78. This horse has yet to run beyond 6.5 furlongs and seems poised to run out of steam before the 8 furlong mark.
2) On The Road – 6/1 – super4
The colt out of the 2nd gate is already a stakes winner. In his last time out he took 2nd in the G3 Little Tree Stakes with a speed of 87. This was his fastest posted yet, at 6 furlongs. He looks like he will extend out well to 8 furlongs as he excels in his closing speed. The Dynaformer colt looks poised to make a serious run at get his first graded win.
3) The Appeal – 6/1 – billzpaid2
Out of gate 3 is another good looking Dynaformer colt. The Appeal has only ran in two previous races at 6 and 7 furlongs respectively. He improved on his speed from 78 to 80 when adding the extra furlong. He will likely need to do more than that to be able to challenge in this race. He is also a strong closer. It is hard to dislike a horse that has yet to lose but, these his graded and stakes debut will prove difficult to continue his winning ways.
4) Already There – 9/1 – jockeymax6
Already There is also making his stakes and graded debut after two races. He won both races by 2 furlongs or more, however both were short fields. His last time out he ran a speed of 84 at 7 furlongs in an allowance race. This horse looks to have a good shot at finishing in the money in his debut with a speed better than 84.
5) Mortys Clantati – 11/1 – rrlogan
Last time out this colt was able to break his maiden. However, it was in his 5th race. He was able to run an 82 at 8 furlongs, but I think it will be hard for him to improve or match that speed at this level. He will find competition much faster and better than in the maiden levels. He has previously ran in a stakes race and finished 4th out of 6th. But with a bigger field it would be a welcomed surprise for rrlogan for Mortys Clantati to finish in the money.
6) Atlantic Bolt – 5/1 – bigarnie
Atlantic Bolt is lightning quick as he proved last time out, or should I say his only time out. He ran a speed of 86 in his Maiden debut which was enough to win by 2 furlongs in a full field. The Stormy Atlantic colt is hoping to improve on that speed by adding a furlong and perhaps a graded win. If he runs as well this time out, as he did in his maiden debut, he should have no problems getting in the money.
7) Osotogari – 5/1 – ontarget
In the 7th gate is a colt with something to brag about. He boasts 2 G3 wins (in 4 total races) and a 2nd in a G1. He has slowly increased his distance and with outstanding results thus far. In his last race he ran in the G1 Horsehead Juvenile with a speed of 88 at 7 furlongs which was good enough to finish 2nd. Another reason to like this colt is his jockey P. Wright who has a winning percentage of 28. Together they look to add another tally to that win column.
8) Will Chachin Shine – 20/1 – Bauhaus
This colt has ran in 6 previous races while obtaining 3 wins, including a stakes win. In his last time out he ran in the G3 Closest Friend Stakes with a speed of 74 which put him 4th. His success tends to come from short fields. His best speed overall is a 77 in a 6.5 furlong race. His speeds look to docile to be able to challenge in this race, but trying to extend past 6.5 furlongs could prove more of his distance.
9) Pirate Treasure – 13/1 – losthecode
In gate 9 we have Pirate Treasure who has ran in 3 stakes before including one graded. He finished 2nd in both of his non-graded stakes and 7th in his graded race. However, since that graded race he has added to his distance and his speeds have improved. His last time out he ran a 78 in The Eator With Pines Memorial stakes race at 8.5 furlongs. That speed will have to improve quite a bit to give losthecode a shot of getting his horse in the money.
10) AndAMoment – 14/1 – andaone
This colt likes to get out early and often. Every race he has run in he has led halfway unfortunately the race didn’t end there. In his last time out he ran in the G1 Horsehead Juvenile with a speed of 78. He finished that race in 8th and 8 furlongs back. He does have a stakes win at 6 furlongs with a speed of 77. However, it seems likely that these speeds will not be enough to carry O. Bigalow and his 10% winning percentage to finish in the money.
11) Goblin King – 7/2 – wumpscut
In the last and final gate we have Goblin King. He has the fastest speed of all the horses in his last race at 93 in the G1 Feed The Children. He also has already won a G3 race here in Montana at the Montana Futurity with a speed of 90. This will be the first time he has run past 6 furlongs, but if he can replicate earlier speeds and J. Biagi can replicate his 19% winning percentage it is hard to pick against this colt.
Well, that is the field and the picks have to be led off with none other than Goblin King. His speeds are super quick and will likely prove too much for the field to handle. With my 2nd pick I like Atlantic Bolt in his second career race to come through and at least finish in the money much to the delight of bigarnie. My 3rd pick would go to On The Road as he will try to close on the field late with his good speed. The field shapes up to provide a good race that you will not want to miss.
As always good luck to all the trainers involved in the race!
