Thirteen youngsters go postward Saturday in this grade II dirt\u00a0sprint.\u00a0 Don’t be fooled by the odds.\u00a0 Barcelona Race Course’s tequila loving trackman, Miguel Battaglia, is infamous for his\u00a0questionable morning lines.\u00a0 Let’s look at the juvies in post position order.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Themole’s Command\u00a0Jack<\/STRONG> drew the fence\u00a0with solid journeyman Doug Kosar in the irons.\u00a0 The big Commands colt is the first foal of a mare who broke her maiden in 2007\u00a0and hasn’t won since.\u00a0 But her\u00a0son has already doubled mom’s lifetime wins in only four starts.\u00a0 His speed figs have\u00a0improved\u00a0each time\u00a0and he arrives fresh off an impressive allowance score in Denmark when he tried dirt for the first time.\u00a0 Decent shot at\u00a0big odds\u00a0if he steps up again.\u00a0\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Fappiano’s Tale<\/STRONG> is one of a trio tabbed by Miguel at 5-1 after another night of heavy drinking\u00a0.\u00a0\u00a0Metallinut’s flashy chestnut\u00a0broke his maiden three back and has been stakes placed twice since.\u00a0 That 83 speed figure earned last time out when finishing second in South Dakota is just a point short of the\u00a0biggest in the field.\u00a0 Very well bred (Tale of Ekati X Fappiano X Damacus) and lightning quick from the gate.\u00a0\u00a0May prove\u00a0tough to catch.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Fleet Colonel<\/STRONG> is trained by Mr. New\u00a0York tip sheet himself, Checkers.\u00a0 Right from the horses mouth I hear that Fleet Colonel\u00a0is extremely well intended this week and will be getting a little extra “help” from Checkers’ long time BFF,\u00a0Rick Dutrow.\u00a0 Nothing illegal, mind you.\u00a0 Just a jug\u00a0containing herbal enhancements and family remedies that have been passed down over the years.\u00a0 As if the Colonel John colt needed any help.\u00a0 He has burned up the track in both of\u00a0his races and gone faster each time.\u00a0 Looking to go a perfect three for three.\u00a0 10-1 may be the steal of the week.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
The\u00a0saga of nondescript broodmares continues with the dam of Spinecho’s Hypnotic Spectre<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 Victoria Regina was haltered from a\u00a0winning effort in a \u00a0$20,000 maiden claimer in 2005.\u00a0 It would be her only career win (sound familiar?).\u00a0 She raced unsuccessfully for her new connections through 2006.\u00a0 She was retired, bred, and produced an awful colt who earned only $3000 in twenty one career starts.\u00a0 Then\u00a0the Storm Cat mare\u00a0was exported to Upper Volta as a potential broodmare prospect.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the only registered stallion in Upper Volta was horsenapped by rebel forces in early 2008.\u00a0 So Vicki became a riding horse for a local school teacher.\u00a0 As luck would have it, Spinecho was on safari when she spotted her long lost mare.\u00a0 A deal was struck and Vicki returned to the good old U. S. of A.\u00a0 Hypnotic Spectre is her\u00a0second foal and what an improvement!\u00a0 The Fu Peg colt finished second in his debut.\u00a0 Next time out he went wire to wire with a big 80 speed number.\u00a0\u00a0Should be in the hunt from flag fall to finish.\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
In post five we find the first of a four ply Deep Rock Stable grouping,\u00a0the speedy but lightly raced Rock It Hard<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 Second in his only try at BF Hollywood, the son of Corinthian and In Plain Sight (Seeking The Gold)\u00a0has impressed line maker Miguel B to the point that he is co second choice at 5-1.\u00a0 And understandably so.\u00a0 The colt is flawlessly conformed, has been working like a demon in the morning and is a half to stakes winner No Surprise.\u00a0 Small step forward is all that’s needed to find Deep Rock’s familiar all black colors in the winners circle.\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
The second Deep Rock entry is Thunacer<\/STRONG>, a son of the freshman Tapit stallion, Make Reservations, and a broodmare who makes the previous two I profiled look like Ruffian.\u00a0 Startracer (Thunder Gulch) raced (if you want to call it that) eighteen times and hit the board once, a third place finish.\u00a0 Her fastest speed rating was 63 which she posted while finishing seventh in a $3500 maiden claimer.\u00a0 Her first foal never earned a dime.\u00a0 So the fact that Thunacer has actually won a race is pretty amazing.\u00a0 Not likely to get much other than hot and\u00a0tired on Saturday, though.\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Mo Bandy<\/STRONG> is by Uncle Mo from the solid Cat Thief race mare, Scaredicat.\u00a0 Trainer Wess is stepping him up off a maiden victory in Montana.\u00a0 Unlike many of his foes, Mo\u00a0has been\u00a0a deep closer in all three starts.\u00a0 Speed figures are a bit short of his rivals so far.\u00a0 But he is in good form and his numbers are getting bigger.\u00a0 If the race collapses, this one may pick up the pieces.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Blankcheckers<\/STRONG> (Dublin X Dream Well X Charismatic) is the third of four from Deep Rock Stables.\u00a0 His speed figures are very good.\u00a0 And his three non stakes races are excellent (3 2-1-0).\u00a0 But both stakes tries were middle of the road.\u00a0 That won’t cut it in this\u00a0field.\u00a0 Upper level allowance races may be his ceiling.\u00a0 Weak rider does not help matters.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Deep Rock’s final starter is Seekermill<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The rangy son of Mercer and Heatseeker Missile (Heatseeker) has caught off tracks in two of his three career assignments.\u00a0 Only start over dry going was a so so\u00a0try at 40-1 (11th of 14) in graded company.\u00a0 Looks like Miguel got this one right at 24-1.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Bush League Stables switches\u00a0to dirt\u00a0with the impeccably bred Holiday Buda<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The Pivotal colt from stakes winning Christmas Buda (Montjeu) has done nothing wrong on grass.\u00a0 But Laura generally likes to test her stock on both surfaces early.\u00a0 Holiday Buda won his debut on grass and followed that up with a very impressive third in stakes company.\u00a0 In both races he showed exceptional speed.\u00a0 I have a feeling this one may race from off the pace this week.\u00a0 Can be the one if he takes to dirt.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Gee, Dixiedotco has the favorite in a graded stake.\u00a0 What a surprise!\u00a0 Taylor’s Town<\/STRONG> is by More Than Ready from the grade II winning Blue Panther (Unbridled’s Song).\u00a0 He’s a stakes winner and graded placed already in only three starts.\u00a0 Last time out Taylor’s Town posted an 84 speed rating when he finished a very good\u00a0second to the red hot Stay In Orbit in a Nevada grade II.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0World class reinsman Martin Zeus gets the assignment and has many options.\u00a0 Can probably be the speed of the speed if he chooses.\u00a0 Stalking tactics may be explored.\u00a0 THE one to beat either way.\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Gravite Lanmour<\/STRONG> hails from the powerful Platero barn.\u00a0 The Street Boss colt from Gata Kamsky (Lewis Michael) broke his maiden impressively at first asking.\u00a0 He stalked a rapid pace, put away a pair of dueling leaders, and held\u00a0a big closer, Ro Bono, safe.\u00a0 The 81 speed figure he received for that win stacks up nicely with the rest of the field.\u00a0 Breezed well Wednesday (half in :48.3).\u00a0 Locked, cocked and ready to rock.\u00a0 <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Last but not least is Wally’s Warrior<\/STRONG> (A. P. Warrior).\u00a0 This colt has a lot going for him.\u00a0 His trainer is the lovely and talented Ace.\u00a0 His mom won over $900,000 and a pair of graded stakes.\u00a0 The presence of\u00a0top jock Thelonius Monk in the saddle can’t hurt, either.\u00a0 And\u00a0Warrior has been an absolute\u00a0beast so far.\u00a0 Two starts two wins.\u00a0 Second one a listed stake.\u00a0 And most importantly, both wins were EFFORTLESS.\u00a0 This colt has a huge stride and is completely untested.\u00a0 No telling where his bottom is.\u00a0 Guessing we might find out this week.\u00a0\u00a0Big shot at a nice price.\u00a0<\/DIV>
