Welcome to Illinois<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> this lovely Saturday afternoon\u2026 We are about to put a cap on a full day of racing with the big race on today\u2019s card. The next race is the GIII Somebody Set Us Up The Bomb Stakes, a mile and a half race for all horses 4 year olds and up on a Fast Dirt course.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A long name for a long race, so let\u2019s see who has shown up in this full field of 14\u2026<\/P>

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

First up in the post parade here today, in PP1, is #27430 Silver Canuck<\/B>. A pher<\/I> trained 5 year old brown horse by Silver Deputy out of Queen Alice (Kingmambo x Northern Raja) and is 25\/7-6-0 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This $3 million dollar man definitely has got the class to win here today, having won some GI stakes, including the California Handicap, where he posted his career high sp of 113.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has never gone 12fl, but by the look of his last race, it shouldn\u2019t be much of an issue.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is the co-favorite at odds of 5\/1 and is being ridden by Y. Dunbar.<\/P>

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

Next up, in PP2, we have #91135 Chasing Dreams<\/B>, a 4 year old brown colt trained by montalcino<\/I>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is a son of Deputy Minister out of a Mr. Prospector bred mare and is 9\/4-1-1 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here is a very lightly raced 4 year old, having had only 9 starts, but so far has done decently in his routes.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has entered the realm of stakes races with a win last time out in an ungraded event.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is another who has not gone this races distance, so he has a lot to overcome, with that and the class in this field, if he wants to hit the board today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at 17\/1 and has P. Williams in the saddle.<\/P>

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

Coming up, in PP3, is #79208 Boy On A <\/B>Mission<\/B><\/st1:place><\/st1:City>(IRE)<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is a 6 year old chestnut horse trained by drturf<\/I> and is by Fastiyev(IRE) out of a Desert Secret(IRE) mare and is 34\/7-10-5 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This is the first of two 6 year olds in today\u2019s race, and he still looks like a solid performer.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is a multiple ungraded stakes winner, but his graded forays have not been as solid as his ungraded have been.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has shown he can race at this distance, so that might give him a chance to sneak up to hit the board.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is starting off at odds of 9\/1 and has jockey M. Bowen in the irons.<\/P>

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

Next, in PP4, we have #15559 Slither<\/B>, a peeps6<\/I> trained 5 year old chestnut horse by Deputy Minister out of a mare by Gone West and is 21\/7-4-1 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This big guy may not have made as much money as the other co-favorite, but he is nothing to look down on.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is a graded stakes winner, including the DPCD Classic.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His speeds at the distance are enough to give his rival in PP1 a run for his money. \u00a0<\/SPAN>He is our second co-favorite at 5\/1 and is being ridden by M. Reveiz.<\/P>

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

Next in our post parade, in PP5, is #54233 King\u2019s Robbery(IRE)<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is a 5 year old brown kj<\/I> trained horse by King Of Kings(IRE) based on Art Fred (Robellino x Arts And Letters) and is 33\/6-7-1 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This fellow faced Slither in their last race, the Edward Garrison, and beat him.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is another that has proven he can be a solid competitor in these long route stakes events, so he will be another one to watch out for in today\u2019s race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at odds of 9\/1 and has jock P. Munoz in the irons.<\/P>

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

Up next, in PP6, is #92008 Sith<\/B>, a 4 year old lurve<\/I> trained brown colt.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is a son of Forty Niner out of a Northern Dancer bred mare and is 9\/4-2-0 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here is another lightly raced 4 year old, but has shown himself to be a better allowance type runner than a stakes horse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His only stakes try ended with him finishing 6th<\/SUP>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He will have a tough day ahead if he wants to take this one here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is starting at odds of 10\/1 and has A. Ching taking up the reins today.<\/P>

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

Right in the middle, in PP7, we have #8714 As Wells Mambo<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is a 4 year old ruby6<\/I> trained brown colt by Sadler\u2019s Wells based on King Soprano\u2019s(Kingmambo x Irish River(FR)) and is 14\/5-3-0 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This colt has been another solid allowance runner, making his first stakes run 3 starts back with good results.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His stakes runs have been decent but his speeds have not been as stellar as those of some in this field.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He can go the distance, but can he outrun some of the other boys in this race?\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at 17\/1 and has D. McCants in the saddle.<\/P>

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

Next up, in PP8, is #88583 Western Quest<\/B>, a 4 year old mizunomp14<\/I> trained brown colt by Rainbow Quest out of Many Launch (Gone West x Lyphard) and is 19\/6-4-3 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here we have another GI Edward Garrison runner, who finished third.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Overall, despite the fact that this horse sounds familiar to me, he has been a solid stakes runner, in both graded and ungraded events.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He seems to be a solid competitor who can go the distance and likes to fool the odds makers.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at odds of 9\/1 and has jock R. Logan up.<\/o:p><\/P>

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

Coming up next in the post parade, in PP9, we have #97169 Rainbow Knight<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is a saintly271<\/I> trained 4 year old chestnut colt by Seeking The Gold out of a mare by A.P. Indy and is 14\/2-4-3 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Another good allowance runner with mixed stakes results, but he won his last start, which was at this distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This will be his first graded appearance and he has drawn into a pretty tough crowd.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He will definitely have his work cut out for him today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is starting at odds of 16\/1 and has D. Anderson taking up the reins.<\/P>

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

Next, in PP10, is #19746 Sinkiewicz<\/B>, a 4 year old jpcrazy<\/I> trained brown colt by Seeking The Gold out of Cielo Uno (Conquistador Cielo x For Really) and is 15\/3-2-2 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This colt spent his early career on the turf, but switched over late last year with good results.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has had good results in his 3 stakes tries and this will also be his first graded event.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He can go the 12fl, but will likely have speed issues with most of the other runners here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at 21\/1 and is being ridden by N. Dubbs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

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

Then, in PP11, we have #25160 Captain Jim<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is a 5 year old brown gosox <\/I>trainee by Captain Bodgit out of a Far North mare and is 33\/11-7-2 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here is another making his first attempt at graded races, but this big guy is coming off of a three race winning streak.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>And his speeds in most of his long route races have been good enough to give any runner here a run for his money.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is at odds of 6\/1 and has jock V. Fraser in the saddle. <\/P>

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

Up next, in PP12, we have #33776 Party Music<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is a 4 year old brown cjt1<\/I> trained colt by Harlan\u2019s Holiday<\/st1:place> based on Spirit Tom (Palace Music x Dominion(GB)) and is 27\/5-3-1 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In my opinion, this colt is a far better allowance runner than he is a stakes horse, as most of his stakes results have been dismal.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He will really need to kick it up a few notches to hit the board today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at odds of 19\/1 and has jockey T. Smaron up.<\/P>

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

Next, in PP13, is #86144 Band Leader<\/B>, a 5 year old domedriver<\/I> trained brown horse by Machiavellian out of a Nureyev bred mare and is 27\/7-2-5 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Most of this guy\u2019s success came during his 3 year old year, but is coming off of a pair of allowance wins.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His recent stakes races have been ok, but not stellar.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is going to need to be on his toes today to have a chance today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is starting with odds of 11\/1 and has B. Bryant up.<\/P>

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

And, last but not least, in PP14, we have #86024 Skunkanisi(IRE)<\/B>, a redflag1<\/I> trained dark grey 6 year old horse by Kalanisi(IRE) out of a mare by Stage Door Johnny and is 25\/6-3-3 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The second of our two 6 year old runners, he doesn\u2019t seem to be letting up much either.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His past stakes events have been decent, but his graded stakes are a little less stellar.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He was another GI Edward Garrison runner, finishing 4th<\/SUP>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He might have a chance if he decides to pick it up a bit.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is off at odds of 12\/1 and is being ridden by S. Robertson.<\/o:p><\/P>

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

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The way I look at it, we have a horse race with a lot of wild cards.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>There are many proven graded runners and some that could surprise here today, but I like the 1, the 5 and the 8 to round out my top 3, but there are too many options to take into account.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Well, they\u2019re in the gate, waiting for the bell\u2026. Good Luck and Good Racing!<\/P>
