Will The Brother’s <\/SPAN><\/B>Sweden<\/SPAN><\/B><\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> have Their Way On Saturday?<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

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

Sweden<\/SPAN><\/B><\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> – I decided because of the time difference I had better pack my bags and head to <\/SPAN>Sweden<\/SPAN><\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> to cover the Grade\u00a0<\/SPAN>III Capitol’s Major Price Stakes before I went to <\/SPAN>Arizona<\/SPAN><\/st1:place><\/st1:State>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>So away I went and after an uneventful plane ride, I was met at the gate by piller’s of the community, Jerry and Ronnie who immediately whisked me away to their favorite hotel near the racetrack.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I am not sure whether the hotel part was their favorite or the disco downstairs\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

After a rather late night dancing – I was up early and off to the track to watch the horses that would be running in the mile and 3\/16’s turf feature on Saturday.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The race carries a $125,000 purse and is for horses four years old and up.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

<\/SPAN>First out on the track was a good looking 5 YO chestnut horse by Dayjur.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The morningline favorite Cry Of The Fox<\/B> (5\/2) was only out for a jog but he was hitting the ground well and his red hide gleamed of good health.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Owned and trained by Redback<\/I> he has 10 wins to his credit and was a credible fifth last time out in the Grade I Turf Invaders.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Distance could be a question but he sure looked good when he went by me.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

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

Another chestnut came by next, another 5 YO horse, this one by Jade Hunter.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The blaze faced, powerfully built, John Boy The Second<\/B> (6\/1) galloped by well in hand.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is owned and trained by Dueces<\/I> and has only six wins but has been in the money 14 of 26 starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He does show a win at 10 furlongs but has been running his best races at shorter recently.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

He was followed by a set of two galloping easily.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>On the inside was one of m y friend Jerry’s under his Therion<\/I> stable.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Tete November<\/B> (3\/1) was moving rather choppy but Jerry assured me that the horse would be fine by raceday.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>“He will warm out of it,” he told me with a grin.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The 4YO son of Noverre wasn’t the prettiest thing I have ever seen but he is 20\/24 in the money and has won six times, including three of his last eight.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He holds a top speed figure of 113 and loves to get loose on the lead.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He will certainly be the one to catch once that Ketofen kicks in.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>To his outside was Crimson Prospector<\/B> (3\/1), a 5 YO son of Red Ransom, owned by Jerry’s brother Marianus<\/I>. \u00a0<\/SPAN>A big bay horse, he was moving easily, and might be the one to beat.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has won four of his last eight and loves the distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He was a good second last time out in the Grade I Victoria Plate at longer and if they can kick him into gear early enough, he will be tough.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

Phat Jug<\/SPAN><\/B> (79\/1) is a former $5k claimer and he may have been entered to insure an honest pace because I have no idea why else he was entered. However, no one told him that he didn’t belong and Phat\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Jug<\/B> blew by me in a down the lane lung opener with the boy hanging on for dear life. \u00a0<\/SPAN>A 6 YO horse by Authaal he is owned by Balosh<\/I>, has won three races and he can handle the distance.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

It’s all Good Mate<\/SPAN><\/B> (6\/1) went by me in a two minute lick, his white socks making the 4YO colt by Fantastic Light easy to spot.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Owned and trained by Sesho17<\/I> he is another former claimer but has won two of his last eight and was claimed from a barn that doesn’t keep them around long if they don’t perform to expectations.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He may just have needed some time as he has shown some improvement for his new owner.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

Water Witch<\/SPAN><\/B> (7\/1) followed soon after and this well bred 5YO by Sadler’s Wells looks to be well placed here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He loves the distance and although he has a low percentage rider, the compact brown horse went by me, tugging on the reins for owner\/trainer Dreaming<\/I>.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

I was all packed to leave for the airport and <\/SPAN>Arizona<\/SPAN><\/st1:place><\/st1:State>, when the last entry showed up for his morning gallop.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>Rockland<\/SPAN><\/B><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> <\/SPAN><\/B>(10\/1) is a 6YO horse by Diesis and he had a lovely way of moving as he skimmed over the track.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is an old class horse that is trying to move back up.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>With 19 wins and over a million in the bank this old guy is not what he used to be and must have some soundness problems as the only jock that would ride him was a 2 % rider looking for his 3rd<\/SUP> win of the year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>Rockland<\/SPAN><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> is trained by Czarina<\/I> and class is always dangerous.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
