Welcome to New Jersey<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> and I hope you are ready for a great day of racing as it is DelPenn Champions Day.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The 15th<\/SUP> race on the card today is the Epiphany Too Handicap for 2year olds going 8.5fl on the Firm Turf course.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>We have a full, and talented, field of runners today, even had a couple BB runners show up, so let\u2019s see who we have here today\u2026<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Breaking from PP1, is #61893 Creepshow(IRE)<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This brown son of Rock of Gibralter(IRE) out of Deputy Flanders(Deputy Minister x Seeking the Gold) is from the lenny28<\/I> barn.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This colt has been very lightly raced this year, but has had good success thus far, as he is 2-for-2, including a win in a stakes last time out at a mile.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has had nice speeds so far in his career, but the jump from open stakes to G1 stakes is a big one and this fellow has his work cut out for him.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at odds of 7\/1 and has jockey Z. Dundey in the saddle today.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Next, from PP2, is #30404 Geometry Of Rage<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The brown son of Sadler\u2019s Wells and a Kingmambo mare is trained by the kaif021<\/I> stable and is 5\/4-0-0 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here is another talented runner who has won every stakes attempt, but yet again, they were only open stakes races, both at this race\u2019s distance of 8.5fl.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His speeds haven\u2019t been as good as some of the other colts in this race, so he might be in for a long day.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is at odds of 13\/1 and is ridden by B. Chill.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Breaking from PP3, we have #98658 Kody Baby(IRE)<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This Verona<\/I><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> trained dark grey colt is the son of El Prado(IRE) out of a Nijinksy II mare.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is 7\/2-1-4 lifetime and has won one stakes event and done well in the other attempts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His speeds have been ok, but are not stellar compared to a few of the other runners today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at odds of 10\/1 and is ridden by P. Perabo. <\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Next, in PP4, is #24812 Very Silver<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This acote<\/I> trainee is a light grey son of Silver Ghost out of a Secretariat mare.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This colt has done very well in his career, being 5\/2-2-0, and is already a graded winner, winning the GSR Diamond two races back and coming in second in the BB Juvie Turf LTO.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This one\u2019s speeds have been very good and seems to have a shot taking this one here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at 10\/1 today and has jock J. Lowich in the irons.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Starting from PP5, we have #101310 Blessed Road<\/B>. This lasthope<\/I> trained chestnut colt is a son of Kingmambo out of Kristeene S.(Kris S. x Seattle<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> Slew) and is 3\/2-0-1 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This is another colt who is doing well so far in his career, he can definitely make this race\u2019s distance and has run in graded company before, running 3rd<\/SUP> LTO in a G1 stakes.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His speeds have not been too good compared to some of the other colts here today so he will need to pick up the pace a lot to hit the board here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at 11\/1 and has jockey Q. Oliver in the saddle today.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

In PP6, is #103072 Omerta Code<\/B>, a gradetwo<\/I> trainee and a chestnut colt by Sadler\u2019s Wells out of Mother Virtuous(Gone West x Mill Reef) and is 3\/2-0-0 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here is another colt who started in the BB Juvie Turf, but he did not have a very good day, finishing 10th<\/SUP>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He won a G3 race before that fateful day, but he will be facing a horse that beat him LTO.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is going to have a difficult time with some of them here today, but has a shot if he can pick up the pace a bit.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is at odds of 8\/1 and is being ridden by M. Harrison.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Breaking in the middle of the fray, in PP7, we have #97996 Silver Court<\/B>, a dark grey colt trained by ts1442<\/I> and is by Silver Ghost out of Fountain Court(Danehill x Gilded Time) and is 4\/3-0-0 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This colt has been undefeated since his switch to the grass and has won a stakes event LTO with a 91sp.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has not been out and about in stakes as much as some of the others in here and is another who is making the big jump in stakes class.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is going to have to rev the engines to win here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at odds of 13\/1 and has jock C. Stams in the irons.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Next up, in PP8, is #48640 Hail Cesario<\/B>, a Catahoula<\/I> trained chestnut colt by Seeking the Gold out of a Northern Dancer mare and is 4 for 4 in his career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This big colt is barely the favorite in this race and has been running in stakes ever since breaking his maiden FTO.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This colt can definitely make the distance, but is another jumping up from open stakes events.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His speeds have been decent, but he is going to have to watch himself against those BB runners here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at 6\/1 and has jock M. Goldyn in the saddle today. <\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Then, from PP9, comes #60303 Wilderness Rules<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This rlogans <\/I>trained roan colt is a son of Canadian Frontier out of Ali\u2019s Door(Ile de Justice x Singing Telegram) and is 8\/2-2-1 for his career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This colt has done far better in his allowance runs than in his stakes races, as he\u2019s never won a stakes so far in his career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His speeds have not been very good compared to most of the other runners here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I am not seeing him being able to take the class jump.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is the outsider today with odds of 24\/1 and has jockey D. Wuerful up today.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Breaking from PP10, is #98461 Hopes And Fears<\/B>, a bobmarley<\/I> trained chestnut colt sired by Grand Slam out of Unukalhai(GB)(In The Wings(GB) x Polar Falcon) and is 7\/1-1-2 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is another one of the BB Juvie Turf runners here today, but he did not do very well at all, finishing dead last.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His speeds have not been good enough to merit doing very well here today, so he\u2019s not my pick.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at 23\/1 today and is being ridden by M. Squitieri.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Next up, from PP11, we have #79224 Andy\u2019s Choice<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This gunsynd <\/I>trained brown colt is a son of Rainbow Quest based on All Star Steel(Gone West x Lyphaness) and is 5\/4-0-0 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This colt is another BB runner who\u2019s connections decided to run him here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He finished 4th<\/SUP> in the BB, and has been running well in graded races so far in his career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He will need to pick it up a little to hit the board, but he has a shot at it. He is off at odds of 10\/1 and has New Jersey<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>\u2019s top jockey J. Benisz in the irons today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Breaking from PP12, is #99438 Skills In Magic<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This peeps9<\/I> trainee is a brown colt by Denon out of Queen Pedal(Sadler\u2019s Wells x Key To The Mint) and is 7\/4-2-0 for his career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This colt was the 5th<\/SUP> place finisher in the GSR Diamond and has done well in regular stakes races, but his graded try has not been very awe inspiring.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>To have a shot here, he is going to have to really pick up the pace a bit to keep up w\/ some of the other boys in this race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at 8\/1 and has jock J.G. Piotrowski in the saddle.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Next, starting in PP13, is #102235 Seven Lives<\/B>, is a putitback<\/I> trained brown colt by Tale Of The Cat out of Seven Manta(Danzig x Harvard Man) and is 6\/4-2-0 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here is a big colt with a shot at this race, if he can make the distance that is, as he\u2019s never gone past 7fl in hid career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If he can make the distance, he has a real chance at taking this one, or at least hitting the board.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at 7\/1 and has V. Schreiber up.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Last, but certainly not least, in PP14, we have #11992 Fantastic Muse<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This borden <\/I>trained brown colt is 5\/3-0-0 lifetime and is sired by Fantastic Light out of Muse(Danzig<\/st1:place> x Rainbow Quest).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here is the last of the BB participants running in this race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He ran 7th<\/SUP> in the BB behind Very Silver and Andy\u2019s Choice, who are also in this race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is going to have to give a huge effort to get past those boys, and others in this race, as his speeds haven\u2019t been as high as some of the others here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at odds of 9\/1 and is being ridden by R. Case.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This race is wide open in my opinion, as anything can happen with 2 year olds.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>But there are many stand out runners that should make for a very competitive race, and because of this I am keeping my picks close to the vest.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Good luck to all the horses and trainers here today and Good Racing!<\/o:p><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
