A field of nine Two Year Old Colts will enter the starting gate at the Pennsylvania racetrack in the $100,000 ESR Tiny Bubbles Stakes to be run at a distance of One Mile over the Dirt Course.<\/p>\n
1 – MOON DOOR CADET <\/b>\u2013 the cadet<\/i> trained Malibu Moon<\/i> colt may have been in a bit deep in his allowance debut against open company rivals two races back; beaten soundly by READY ROAD<\/b> in that race, a horse that has a very strong figure in this field. Impressed in his latest when facing similar rivals at a mile; pressed at every turn; eventually giving way to a late closing challenge to finish second while posting a 90 speed figure.\u00a0 Despite the improved performance in his last start, this Bay Colt won\u2019t find it any easier this week, and may have to settle for a minor share\u2026must not falter<\/p>\n
2 \u2013 TIPTAPROCKANDROLL<\/b> \u2013 this kingab<\/i> trained Tapit<\/i> colt out of the Grade 3 winning ROCK N\u2019 ROLL BEN<\/b>, Dam of the very controversial SONG OF BEN<\/b>, is following in his siblings footsteps, a perfect two for two in his promising career.\u00a0 The highly touted two-year old will be making his two-turn debut on Saturday, and should have little trouble handling the added distance.\u00a0 Willingly in both career starts, this colt is a serious contender in this field and a horse to tab for the summer classics\u2026dangerous<\/p>\n
3 – READY ROAD <\/b>\u2013 you can still hear the rumbling from the connections of this Quality Road<\/i> colt after getting beat by a head in an Open allowance race last time out while posting a jaw dropping 97 speed figure in his two-turn debut.\u00a0 Still a little green, the frankster<\/i> stables immediately entered into the G3 Manor of Bashford stakes where he fell behind early, had to navigate around a full field and made a late rally to finish 7th<\/sup>, just 3 \u00be lengths from the lead.\u00a0 Will this talented colt bounce off that 97? That\u2019s your call\u2026one to beat<\/p>\n 4 – HALCYON MOON <\/b>\u2013 two year old Malibu Moon<\/i> colt hailing from the ruffian<\/i> stables didn\u2019t show much interest in his two-turn debut last time out after turning in a solid performance in his two year old debut.\u00a0 Would take a major upset for this nicely bred colt to find a top three position in this field, but should benefit from the experience\u2026not with these<\/p>\n 5 – CAUTION TAPE <\/b>\u2013 the summerset<\/i> trained Alternation<\/i> colt is making his sixth career start and first start going around two turns.\u00a0 Impressive in his debut, where he rallied from mid-pack to win by a photo, the capable two year old has since been unable to repeat that performance in four successive starts.\u00a0 While his speed figures have improved with every start, connections are hoping the added distance will provide a wake-up call for this colt to get the job done.\u00a0 Might be in a bit deep\u2026must show more<\/p>\n 6 – JUST WINGING IT<\/b> \u2013 two year old Harris Tweed<\/i> colt racing under the colors of the dontbetonme<\/i> stables is entering this field off a very impressive first start, driving to the wire to win his MSW debut while posting an eye-catching 83 debut.\u00a0 The 11th<\/sup> offspring to the Stakes winning EXTREMELY RAZE<\/b> mare, this Canadian bred colt is only the second of his siblings to win in his debut, and could very well be the first in the family to notch a black-type victory\u2026might be this good<\/p>\n 7 -CASINO MOJO<\/b> \u2013 the casino<\/i> trained Uncle Mo colt is the 9th<\/sup> offspring from the stakes producing mare SUSAGEP<\/b>.\u00a0 \u00a0Impressed last time out when collaring the leaders in his second career start in a MSW race in Florida while posting an 81 speed figure, this colt has the family history to compete at the stakes level, however that may be while sprinting and I am not sure the added distance is the mile is going to improve his chances here on Saturday.\u00a0 Watch for this horse turning back after this race\u2026your call<\/p>\n 8 -FOOLISH FIRE <\/b>\u2013 the trotter trained Orb colt was a standout winner in his first two starts winning both in gate to wire fashion before giving way his last start in the Snow Squall Dirt Juvenile.\u00a0 Likely to meet resistance from the front running MOON DOOR CADET<\/b>, connections are hoping this talented colt can relax off the pace while stretching out for the first time\u2026happy with part<\/p>\n 9 -CURIEUX DE SAVOIR<\/b> \u2013 the mrawesome<\/i> trained Shamoline Warrior (AUS)<\/i> colt is making his fourth start and first start around two turns for his new connections. \u00a0First and second in his last two starts, both over the turf course, the New Zealand bred colt returns to the dirt in an attempt to pull off a major upset here on Saturday.\u00a0 Despite a good on track performance, this Bay Colt may be in over his head in this field and an average speed figure of 63 demonstrates the point. Look elsewhere<\/p>\n PROJECTIONS<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n There will be plenty of early pace in this field and I would expect MOON DOOR CADET <\/b>and FOOLISH FIRE <\/b>to do most of the battling leaving any other pace setters grasping for air from the chase.\u00a0 The race sets up beautifully for READY ROAD <\/b>to sweep past the leaders in the final yards, but he will have to outhustle TIPTAPROCKANDROLL <\/b>who should get the jump on him while sitting in cover while the leaders battle.\u00a0 Only a photo will tell those two apart at the wire.<\/p>\n TRIFECTA PLAY<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n 23 \/ 2318 \/ ALL<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A field of nine Two Year Old Colts will enter the starting gate at the Pennsylvania racetrack in the $100,000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":443,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/443"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25582"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25582\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25586,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25582\/revisions\/25586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
