$85,000 is up for grabs in the Bluegrass<\/st1:PlaceName> State<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> in the Half Slew Stakes over Seven furlong Dirt for 3 year olds only. Lightning fast track for Kentucky<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>. 6 runners go for glory so lets go to the field.<\/P>

Tigereyes\u2019 <\/I>Starpoint Thunder<\/STRONG> is a son of Aldeberan at 7\/2. Ranked 88 in the Dirt Sprint division he is 3 from 10 with a $135,000 in earnings. He ran 2nd<\/SUP> in Stakes in his 2nd and 4th<\/SUP> starts with 75 & 85 Speed Figures. After that he tried a Grade 3 with no luck before running 3rd<\/SUP> in a Stakes. After that he won a Stakes race with a 90 SF by 1 length. He then ran 8th<\/SUP> in a Grade 1 before Last Time out running 1st<\/SUP> in a GSR restricted race. It was a stakes race and I think he has a good chance at winning.<\/P>

Escapade\u2019s <\/I>Spiteful<\/STRONG> is a son of Speightstown at 7\/2 with S Garber aboard. Ranked 118 he has won 4 races from 8 starts with $435,000. He won his first two starts by \u00bc and \u00be lengths in MSW\u2019s and Allowances. In his 5th<\/SUP> and 7th<\/SUP> starts he won Owner Restricted Stakes by \u00bd or \u00bc lengths and ran 87 and 91 Speed Figures.<\/P>

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

Blinking\u2019s <\/I>Euler<\/STRONG> is a son of Roar at 7\/1 with V Wright aboard. Ranked 568 he is 3 from 3 with $70,000. In debut he won a MSW by 1 \u00be lengths with a 80 Speed Figure. Next start on turf in a Allowance he won by 2 lengths with a 73SF. Last Time Out he won a Allowance on dirt over 7 Furlong by 1 \u00bc lengths with a 91 Speed Figure. He definetly seems to take to dirt and will be well suited from 7 to 8 Furlongs. Not yet sure if he can go longer but looks best chance for 2nd<\/SUP>.<\/P>

Simond5\u2019s <\/I>Tortured Vison<\/STRONG> is a son of Vison And Verse and is 7\/2 with top jockey D Givins aboard. He is ranked 50 in the sim for Dirt Sprint and has 3 wins from 10 starts and $117,000. This horse has competed pretty high before when in his 3rd<\/SUP> start ran in the G2 Vermont Futurity but unsuccessful. In his 5th<\/SUP> start he won a Stakes by 2 lengths with a 86 Speed Figure. 3 starts ago he won another Stakes by 1 \u00bd lengths with a 93 Speed Figure. Seems to prefer 7, 7.5F and could play a role.<\/P>

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

Xanthu3\u2019s <\/I>Stone Boy<\/STRONG> is the 2\/1 favourite by Birdstone. D Sherman got the pick to ride this nice horse. He is ranked 47 and had 4 wins from 11 starts with $151,000. In his 6th<\/SUP> start he won a Allowance by 1 \u00bd lengths with a 85 Speed Figure before winning another Allowance and a Stakes with a 88 SF by 2 lengths. He then went an ran 2nd<\/SUP> in a Grade II by 2 \u00bc lengths with a 85SF. Next time out he ran 12th<\/SUP> by 13 \u00bd lengths in the Breeders Bowl Juvenile. He posted a 82 Speed Figure before running two 2nd<\/SUP>\u2019s in a row in Stakes both losing by 1 \u00bc lengths with a high of a 95 Speed Figure. If he puts it together he will Blitz this field.<\/P>

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

Tenpin7\u2019s <\/STRONG><\/I>Deblush<\/STRONG> is by Dehere and is at 9\/2 with B Sipe aboard. He is ranked 136 and has won 4 races from 9 starts with $95,000. It took Deblush 4 starts to break his maiden but his next win after that came in Week 2650 when he won a Allowance by 1 \u00be lengths with a 89 Speed Figure. His next start was another Allowance where he won with a 91 Speed Figure but only by \u00bd a length though. 2 starts back he went 3 on the trot winning a Stakes by 1 length at 7.5 Furlongs with a 88 Speed Figure. Last start wasn\u2019t too good but I hope and think he will bounce back.<\/P>

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

Stone Boy<\/STRONG> looks easily the winner but don\u2019t rule out undefeated Euler<\/STRONG><\/P>
