The NWRC brings its best 3 year olds and up going a grueling distance of 12 furlongs on the firm turf course in #1 Duke Peace 16\/1 (Sprizzo<\/SPAN><\/B>\u00a0 <\/SPAN>x\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/B>Trempolino x Grey Dawn II) Kyfiesta \u2013 Tommy 5 year old son of seldom used sire Sprizzo is looking to cash in his biggest win to date.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It\u2019s been quite awhile since he won, but is a two time stakes winner going longer.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Distance will be no problem for his front running style, but his speed figures are a tad low and might be on the downward end of his career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A six time winner of $193,303 will need to pick it up here to have a chance. #2 Confederacy (ire) (High Chaparral(ire) x Caerleon x Conquistador Cielo) Dawgpound – Sharon 3 year old son of highly touted sire High Chaparral, certainly has the breeding to run this far and longer.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>With a record of 13\/5-3-2 and $175,147 in career earnings, he figures to be prominent early and might forget to stop.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It\u2019s good to see that someone has produced a long distance horse by this sire, as all of mine have been duds so far.\u00a0 <\/SPAN> #3 Bright Sunset (Barkerville x General Meeting x L\u2019enjoleur) Pilot747 \u2013 Ken 4 Year old son of Barkerville is the classiest of the field.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Multiple grade one winner of $844,666 can win on turf or dirt, but this might be a bit too far.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has yet to win at a distance beyond 11 furlongs and he lacked punch down the lane in his prep for this race last time out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He hasn\u2019t won since stringing together back to back grade one victories and has past the dreaded 32nd<\/SUP> start of his career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If he can run back to either of those early wins and can handle the extra furlong, he\u2019ll be tough to deny.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I\u2019m banking that the added distance and the downhill of his career make him an also ran. #4 Jdawg Child (Lion Cavern x Prized x 3 year old son of Lion Cavern has yet to hit the board in a route race or on turf.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This is an ambitious placement by trainer Terrel, since he hasn\u2019t won in ages, shows no affinity for turf or a route.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Current form is very suspect, so he is shooting for the stars here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Morning line of 75\/1 is an underlay, if you ask me.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I can\u2019t see him anywhere near the pack at the wire. \u00a0<\/SPAN>#5 Rare Forum (Octagonal (NZ) x Diesis (GB) x Grundy (Ire) Jaytrotter \u2013 Dave This classy 7 year old was all the rage when he was claimed by Dave as a 3 year old for $5,000.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Talk about a bargain purchase, a multiple stakes winner who has since gone on to bank $1,135,999 and win 15 races for his current connections.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Distance will pose a problem as he has yet to win at the distance and his best days are behind him.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>One of only 6 older horses, he\u2019ll be facing a sophomore cast that have much more upside potential, but he belongs in this race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It would be a delight to see him cross the finish line first and show why he is a highly touted NWRC horse for the ages. #6 Wonderboy Dockers (Rahy x Fusaichi Pegasus x Sword Dancer (ire) Vegasjef01 \u2013 Jef 3 year old son of Rahy will be making his first start against older.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As mentioned above, there are only 6 older horses, so the task won\u2019t be as daunting as it could be.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has yet to win at the distance, but shows two easy wins going 11 furlongs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The last furlong maybe his undoing, but he is lightly raced and could proof a formidable horse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is trained by one of the best trainers in the circuit, so you can never discount a horse he enters in a race of this magnitude.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He can run on dirt or turf, but the green stuff is his preferred surface.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Look for him to be part of the speed brigade with several others in here. #7 Ruling Empire (Empire Maker x Spectacular Bid x 3 year old son of Empire Maker is royally bred and could be any kind.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Hasn\u2019t lived up to the breeding line, but with only 12 starts, he could mature into a top runner.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Has yet to show an affinity for the turf and has not run farther than 9.5 furlongs, so this could be a big task to overcome.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>There are other horses who are already proven on the surface and distance and the 5\/1 morning line is way to short a price.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I don\u2019t expect a good showing here, but follow with the switch back to dirt and a shorter distance. #8 Dan Colony ( 4 year old son of Danzig Connection is bred to run all day long.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has multiple stakes wins going 2 miles, so the distance will pose no problem for him today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Didn\u2019t care for the off track and the grade 2 class last time out, but won\u2019t find those types in here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Another who likes to run up front, but will have some company with him as there are several others with the same style of running.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is lightly raced with 22 starts and has won 10 of them and banked $331,439.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Morning line price of 9\/1 is a gift and will be in the thick of it at the end.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is Jef\u2019s second entrant in the race and both have a similar running style, so it will be interesting to see what the jockey instructions are. #9 Sandansel (Hansel x Green Desert x Darshaan (Eng) Boldrule99 \u2013 Goody 3 year old son of Hansel is ambitiously placed by his connections as he has yet to win at a route in 9 tries or tally against winners.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His speed figures are among the lowest in the field; current form isn\u2019t very good and will find this tough sledding against this bunch.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Might need softer to show his best. #10 Heresy (Hennessy x Dehere x Tom Rolfe) Pullaway3 \u2013 Goody 3 year old son of Hennessy is trainer Goody\u2019s second entrant in this race. This would appear his best chance at victory, but it would take a monumental race to get the money.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Has yet to break the 90 speed barrier or a win at the distance, but his last race was encouraging.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A mid pack closing win going 10 furlongs against NW2L allowance foes, he might like the extra distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Hard to like on top, but could come closing to complete the exotics. #11 A.P. Adventure (Forty Niner x Sadler\u2019s Wells x A.P. Indy) Pedroza – Todd 3 year old son of Forty Niner is starting to put it all together.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is 8\/3-4-0 in turf starts and likes to sit just off the pace.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His style of running could be place him in the perfect position, but will have to rely on the stamina of the dam sire and dam dam sire.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has yet to face stakes level company, but has run some great races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Not sure he will like the added distance and will be running out of his home track of #12 Start the Music (Jump Start x Medaille D\u2019Or x Stop the Music) Hihosilver \u2013 Ken 5 year old son of Jump Start has won 15 starts and banked $1,753,755 in his career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This is trainer Ken\u2019s second entrant in the race and turf is definitely his game.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He last won the NWRC Message Board Marathon, but has failed in 3 subsequent tries against allowance foes.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A multiple graded winner at this distance looks like time has finally caught up with him.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If he can run back to his glory days, he\u2019ll be a cinch winner, but that might be expecting a bit much.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Nevertheless, 5\/1 on a grade 1 winner at the distance and surface might be hard to pass up.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He will sit a great trip in mid pack and rely on his closing ability to get the job done.\u00a0 <\/SPAN> #13 Toms Lunar Limbo (Polish Navy x Shadeed x Cr\u00e8me Dela Cr\u00e8me) Haulinoats – Tommy 5 year old son of Polish Navy is trainer Tommy\u2019s second entrant in the race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is listed as 13\/1 on the morning line, so the fans here in
