It\u2019s a small field for the Financial Colony Stakes at 6 \u00bd furlongs on the grass for 3-year-olds, but there are no longshots here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>All have run respectable speed numbers on the turf, and based on best performances, any one could\u00a0 <\/SPAN>have a chance.<\/P>

  1. Making A Statement <\/B>(7) 2-1-2 $31,776, a son of stakes winner Ongoing Wail<\/U>, from the super9<\/I> stable will break from the inside.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The son of Gulch x Summer Squall x Seattle Slew has the royal breeding for this (and since it\u2019s the FINANCIAL\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Colony S.,\u00a0 <\/SPAN>might be a hunch bet \u2013 statement, like bank statement, get it?\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Sorry about that!), and won his last two, a maiden breaker and a N2L, both on turf, with an 82 speed figure last out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It will be interesting to see how he does here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His dam was stronger on dirt and at a distance, but he certainly seems to like the grass well enough.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>5\/2\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/B><\/LI><\/OL>

    1. Volodimer, <\/B>also at 5\/2<\/B>, (4) 1-0-1 $37,930, represents the hollandia6<\/I> team.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Dam West Rum<\/U> wasn\u2019t much of a racehorse, but does have turf breeding.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The colt is by Officer x Gone West x Blakeney (GB), and debuted on dirt, then improved substantially, winning his second start on turf and staying there for two stakes attempts, finishing 3rd<\/SUP> and 4th<\/SUP> in his two attempts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His turf debut gave him the top speed figure in this race, with an 85.<\/LI><\/OL>

      1.
