The DANINER Memorial

The DANINER Memorial Stakes
3 Year Old Colts
7 Furlongs Dirt (Fast)
Purse $55,00
Well bred and well matched is the best way to sum up this group of 3 year olds that are going to put on a show when they spring the latch in the 10th race on Saturday afternoon
1.SEVERED-7/2
(DISTORTED HUMOR x A.P. INDY x STORM CAT)
Stable:jimdscott
Jockey:Ba Scott
This colt boasts a pedigree that is perfect front to back as was this colts race record when he tried Stakes company for the first time in his most recent when going 2 turns and was a disappointing 3rd in that event, he cuts back in distance to a sprint, where he has never lost and is 1 for 1 at todays distance. This colt is a major threat for the win as he will be in good position early stalking the speed that is coming from mid gate.

2.NINE SILVER RINGS-6/1
(SILVER DEPUTY x FORTY NINER x CRYPTOCLEARANCE)
Stable:racinpogs1
Jockey:Q Simien
Is going to try stakes company again after an ALW win over 6.5 in his most recent, he has a good record of 6-3-1-0 in his career but the knock against him is that the 2 off the board finishes were his only 2 races against stakes company and with his low speed ratings he will need to improve if he hopes to crack the top 3

3.ELITE DADDY-6/1
(SCAT DADDY x CARSON CITY x CANDY STRIPES)
Stable:elitempire
Jockey:B Brock
Was able to win at first asking 2 back when he posted a 82 speed number at 6.5, he was then moved right into a stakes race in his most recent finishing 3rd and posting the best speed number on the page at todays distance on 95 in that start, with this being only his 3rd lifetime start and the fact that he has raced great in his first 2 a top 3 finish is expected here and possibly a win if the trip works for this one.

4.CREDIT CHARM-5/1
(FOREST WILDCAT x DANZIG x MR. PROSPECTOR)
Stable:brentuk
Jockey:L Radinski
This colt ships in for brentuk and will try open stakes for the first time today, he is one of 2 speed horses that are likely to blaze through the first 4 furlongs trying to gain control of the race, this is a big step up in company but his colt has 9 of 10 top 2 finishes and comes in riding a 3 race win streak.

5.LATENT RUBY-5/2
(LATENT HEAT x CLEVER TRICK x FAMILY DOCTOR)
Stable:trauma92
Jockey:K Murray
Is a very fast sone of Latent Heat that was able to beat G3 types in his last posting a 102 speed number and making him 5 for 5 sprinting, his only blemish was when 3 back his connections try to stretch him out and get him onto the Bluegrass Derby Trail, with those hopes thoughts out of their mind they are back to what LATENT RUBY does best and that is win sprint races, 5-2 is the shortest price on the page, but this is on paper the best colt here today.

6.WHIMSICAL WILL-9/2
(MOUNTAIN CAT x NINISKI x BEST TURN)
Stable:rubyfarms
Jockey:K Baynes
Lands himself in a tough spot for his 3 year old debut, with 5 for 5 on the board finishes and a 3rd place finish in his last when trying stakes, he is a colt that shows great ability to be in the hunt but needs to step up in terms of speed numbers to get on this Trifecta ticket.

7.MILLENNIUM BUG-7/1
(ROSES IN MAY x DUBAI MILLENNIUM (GB) x TROY(GB))
Stable:dalecheats
Jockey:G tate
Tried the lawn in his first starts and was a well beaten 12th on that day, switch to the dirt for his next 2 and posted 2 wins and speed numbers of 84 and 92 which are good enough for his to compete with these, a good trip and some speed to run at and this colt can easily be one to deal with in the stretch.

This is one of the toughest races on paper you will come across for only being 7 horses, they combined Dirt/Sprint record for this group is 30-19-8-2 which explains why it is so evenly matched.LATENT RUBY
G3 win in last gives a slight edge over these and the perfect 5 for 5 stands out, what I don’t like is the short price and the speed on the inside that will make her run in the early stages
ELITE DADDYPosted a 95 speed number at todays distance in his last, if the favorite is pushed early this colt will be spotted right for the win.
SEVEREDAnother stalker that can win if the favorite sets a torrid pace and falters late, he will need a clean trip from the inside but can win if things work out in his favor.
