A field of eight turf marathoners face off this week in The Gatling Sea Cap fashioned at a mile and three quarters over the lush Connecticut grass course.\u00a0 Here’s a preview of the contestants from the hedge outward.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Gate one will hold Dsanders’ veteran homebred, Vermont Freak<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The big six year old son of Aptitude is in the midst of an eight race losing streak and has never won a stake.\u00a0 On the plus side, he did finish third in his only\u00a0start over this grueling distance and there are others in here who won’t like the trip.\u00a0 In addition, the Freak posted a solid 100 speed figure for jockey NBonus to open his 2006 campaign.\u00a0 Some shot if things break his way.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Scoobs City<\/STRONG> is next.\u00a0 The well bred (Carson City x Kris S. x Nearctic) four year old carried a very impressive four race win skein into Equinics.\u00a0 Among his wins was a\u00a0very fast victory over thirteen grassy furlongs in the Brass Kingdom Stake at Laurel.\u00a0 But the wheels came off in Equinics’ Piggott and he hasn’t recovered yet.\u00a0 Following the Piggott debacle, Scoobs did run a distant third to The Gourmet in a stake over this track.\u00a0 Certain to be\u00a0near the\u00a0front early and can maintain that position with his very best effort.\u00a0 Jockey Lorenzo Hechicera gets the leg up from trainer Youlostha.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
The only distaffer in the field, P J Seven Seas<\/STRONG>(ire), drew the three hole.\u00a0 The compactly built\u00a0daughter of Rock of Gibraltar(ire)\u00a0arrives in splendid form having won three successive races, the last two stakes, by WIDE margins.\u00a0 Osstable3’s homebred\u00a0loves to go immediately to the front and open up big leads.\u00a0 The flashy five year old opened up\u00a0by twelve lengths last time and coasted home by five and a half well in hand.\u00a0 She posted a nifty 100 in that event despite being eased a sixteenth out.\u00a0 Looks like the one to beat.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
I Have A Dream<\/STRONG> owns solid credentials.\u00a0 Ten career wins, two stakes wins, excellent trainer in Yinandyang, red hot rider in Isaiah Thomas, and impeccable breeding (War Chant x Seeking The Gold x Clever Trick).\u00a0 So what’s the problem?\u00a0 The distance.\u00a0 He’s effective up to nine furlongs but has shown no inclination to run one step beyond.\u00a0 Distanced last outing at two miles.\u00a0 Nice horse.\u00a0 Another time.\u00a0 Another place.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Medieval Cat<\/STRONG> was claimed by Hoofers last time out for $25,000.\u00a0 The trainer has a long history of claiming horses and moving them up.\u00a0 And I’m guessing that the erstwhile stakes winner will do well for his new barn.\u00a0 But not this week.\u00a0\u00a0Of fifty-four career starts, only two have been a mile or longer.\u00a0 Neither was pretty.\u00a0 Two chances.\u00a0 Seven scratches and none.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Babybarns’ homebred Calella <\/STRONG>has an outside chance.\u00a0 The five year old\u00a0gray can run\u00a0all day having\u00a0won stakes at both twelve and sixteen furlongs.\u00a0 He has a sharp trainer and will be ridden by the capable Dinghi Singhi.\u00a0 And the rangy son of Fantastic Light loves the turf.\u00a0 The big question is whether or not he can put it all together on Saturday.\u00a0 No wins since 2004.\u00a0 Next stop might be nw1y.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Starting from gate seven is the aptly named Like Day And Night<\/STRONG>(ire).\u00a0 The steel gray Daylami(ire) stallion races huge at times.\u00a0 And fails to show up at others.\u00a0 And as with many of his rivals, there are two sides to his story.\u00a0 The negative is that he’s raced mostly in allowances and high claimers.\u00a0 So this class will be a stern test.\u00a0 On the other hand, Smoken’s enigmatic charge has won the last three times he’s raced on firm turf.\u00a0 Cannot be dismissed lightly.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Rounding out our field is second betting choice Revelation II<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The chestnut millionaire arrives sporting a two race win streak.\u00a0 Two back the son of Kingmambo crushed a decent allowance field in Alabama.\u00a0 Last time out he dusted a stakes field in Virginia.\u00a0 Journeyman Gordon Ringsakiddy rides for world class conditioner Oscar.\u00a0 This multiple Grade One winner is certainly the main threat to the mare.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Come out early as the first 5,000 paid admissions will receive a complimentary “Wait ’til next year” UCONN T-shirt.<\/DIV>
