He comes in undefeated in two career starts with the most recent win coming at this distance at the “G2 Champagne Mile” where he ran 88 speed and beat DROLZEINS by a head.

darkmandu201 barn
f gossett 16/1
Out of the darkmandu201 barn is this two-year old PIERATA colt out of the Sim Mare DARK HOOKEM UP. He makes his fourth straight Graded Stakes start here following a win and third place finish. Two back he ran 90 speed and won the “G3 Premie Champion Stakes” and last time out he ran 88 speed at the “Kegger Day Juvenile Turf Mile” where he was third to AMERICAN FRICTION. He will look to run back of the pack before kicking it into high gear as they come down the stretch and the ownership group hopes he will have lots left to catch the early leaders.

He comes in off eight weeks rested and will like the distance but will need a big bump in speed if he hopes to find a spot on the board against this group.His speed numbers should play well here and he should top 90 speed for the first time and has a good chance of winning his first Grade 1.
