Maryland proudly presents the seventh running of their premier early spring headliner, the Grade III Tally Ho Mile fashioned for older\u00a0runners on the grass course.\u00a0 The previous six\u00a0editions have been won by such stalwarts as inaugural\u00a0hero Her Telephone<\/STRONG>, Dynaform Sir<\/STRONG> who upset the great Volotile Nijinsky<\/STRONG>, Sir Tenant<\/STRONG> who took the measure of a very game Ice Age Predator<\/STRONG>, Twice Told Tale<\/STRONG> who set the stake record of 1:33.4, Affirm<\/STRONG> who denied Twice Told Tale a Tally Ho double and the speedy millionaire Slew Can<\/STRONG> who took the 2006 renewal.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
This year’s\u00a0edition shapes up as another barn burner.\u00a0 Here are the contestants in post position order.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Drunken Lullabies<\/STRONG>\u00a0likes it short and\u00a0wet.\u00a0 Undefeated over good turf,\u00a0the grade one sprint winner arrives off a pacesetting fourth while running against\u00a0The General and his pals in Washington.\u00a0 The dashing gray son of Daylami and prolific producer Rigidly Within Sea (Blushing John) recently went over a million dollars in career earnings and will be looking to add to his total on Saturday.\u00a0 Unfortunately for trainer Blinkers, Drunken Lullabies has yet to\u00a0win in four attempts beyond seven furlongs.\u00a0 May\u00a0hit the board\u00a0with a top effort.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV><\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
In the two hole is Woodhead’s impeccably bred mare (Sadler’s Wells x Gone West x Blushing Groom), Follow The Path<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The multiple stakes winner arrives in tip-top shape having scored in two of her last three outings.\u00a0 Last time out she established a career best 106 speed figure while taking down a field\u00a0of distaff sprinters in South Dakota.\u00a0 She has managed to stretch her speed this far before on occasion\u00a0and cannot be taken lightly.\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Multiple grade one winner Manifest Destiny<\/STRONG> will carry the familiar maroon and gray colors of Tigerman into the fray.\u00a0 The big Storm Cat dual millionaire ended a long dry spell three starts back when he annexed the one mile Her Dances Special over his home track in Queensland in a brisk 1:34.4 (104) over the off turf.\u00a0 Then came a sub par performance in the Grade III Sussex Handicap.\u00a0 Tigerman prepped his\u00a0homebred chestnut with an easy allowance tally last time out at Ascot.\u00a0\u00a0Solid journeyman Izzy Betts\u00a0will be\u00a0aboard Manifest Destiny for this test.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Diomed’s homebred The Magic Flute<\/STRONG>(IRE) is a versatile sort having won three races each on the grass and the main course.\u00a0 He exits The Rock’s Texas Cooking series where he split a good field on the dirt.\u00a0 The son of Singspiel and graded winner Rickety Tide\u00a0failed to get involved in three previous graded races.\u00a0 Tough spot.\u00a0 <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Cross\u00a0a well bred, but painfully slow, career claimer who raced for six different barns and had lifetime earnings of $11,502 in thirty five starts\u00a0with a California based sire that nobody ever heard of, much less bred to, and what do you get?\u00a0 That’s right.\u00a0 The appropriately named Unpredictably T<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 A quarter million dollar earning,\u00a0five time stakes winner who pops 107 speed figures for fun.\u00a0 Last time out Xtchamps’ ‘Western\u00a0Fame stallion\u00a0wired a solid allowance field in a quick 1:48 for nine grassy furlongs.\u00a0 He is the only stakes winner ever sired by the mysterious Western Fame.\u00a0 Unpredictably T hasn’t fared well in graded races to date,\u00a0but if he runs back to that last effort, who knows?<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV><\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Late blooming Colonial Childers<\/STRONG> is a real rags-to-riches story.\u00a0 The former bottom level claimer plodded his way through three years of racing for three different\u00a0trainers until current conditioner Lopo87 happened across the magic key.\u00a0 Turf mile.\u00a0 After never even sniffing a triple digit speed number his entire career, the soon to be millionaire ran off and hid in a Danish allowance posting an eye popping 106 for the lovely and talented J Hempler.\u00a0 Next time out, under leading Danish rider Batman Schardein, the Aptitude stallion won another mile turf allowance.\u00a0 His crowning achievement thus far is his victory over\u00a0some of this week’s rivals in the Grade I Kentucky Horsemen’s Moonshine Mile.\u00a0 Colonial Childers won that race in a blazing 1:34.2 good for a 109 speed figure.\u00a0 He arrives from New York off a solid third place finish in an open allowance prep for the Tally Ho.\u00a0 Clear and present danger.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
CO-favored at 6-1 is Broad Street<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 This reporter finds those odds on Mmstable33’s son of War Emblem a bit curious given the fact that Broad Street has never won a stakes race of any kind.\u00a0 But the lanky homebred has been producing some big speed numbers while narrowly missing.\u00a0 He ran a 108 while finishing second at Gulfstream two back and was second again at Finger Lakes (110) last time out.\u00a0 Needs a bit more to knock off this crew.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Steff’s Arazi sired dual millionaire Congo<\/STRONG> is the other CO-favorite and he appears\u00a0to be sitting on\u00a0a big race.\u00a0\u00a0After his stellar second place finish in the Grade I Breeders Bowl Mile, the flashy chestnut was given a well deserved three month vacation by his crafty conditioner.\u00a0 Following a series of solid works,\u00a0the veteran lawn mower\u00a0returned to the racing wars with an even fourth place finish in\u00a0Japan’s Grade II Buddy Boy Mile.\u00a0 I watched\u00a0Congo work a half on Monday morning and he looked as good as ever.\u00a0 Silky smooth and effortless.\u00a0 His clocking of :47.4 was third best among twenty eight at the distance.\u00a0 Definite threat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Speed crazy Jungleland<\/STRONG> will assure a quick pace.\u00a0 As usual, Estreet’s Danzig stallion will be on a front running mission on Saturday.\u00a0 The graded winning half millionaire has finished first or second in over half of his thirty nine career starts.\u00a0 And he shows a Grade II mile turf win in 1:34.1 (113) on his resume.\u00a0 How far will he carry his speed this week?\u00a0 Tune in Saturday to find out.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Blessed Road<\/STRONG> may be the sleeper.\u00a0\u00a0Lasthope’s blue blooded homebred \u00a0(Kingmambo x Kris S x Seattle Slew) has some back class having been a stakes winner and graded placed as a juvenile.\u00a0 His three year old year was steady, if unspectacular.\u00a0 And he enters this contest in peak form having demolished successive allowance fields at Newmarket while posting identical 102 speed figures.\u00a0 But the colt was not extended in either event and won each while well in hand.\u00a0 Your call.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Silver Court<\/STRONG> is from the powerful West Virginia based Ts1442 stable.\u00a0 In fact, the steel gray Silver Ghost homebred won the Grade II Geegee Turf at Old Waterford three starts back.\u00a0 Silver Court has struggled in his last two outings but you may rest assured that his crafty conditioner will have him ready for The Tally Ho.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Trainer Sharkster must like the chances of his\u00a0homebred Gift From A King <\/STRONG>because he spent a few bucks to ship the flashy chestnut stateside for the first time in\u00a0a quite a while.\u00a0 The six year old son of Cryptoclearance has spent the past three years racing in Europe and the Far East.\u00a0 Gift From A King has not won a race of any kind in over nine months and won\u00a0only one\u00a0stakes race in his career.\u00a0\u00a0Two ventures into graded company\u00a0have proven\u00a0unsuccessful.\u00a0 Outsider here.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>
DelPenn based Highest Raider<\/STRONG> has carved out a handsome living ($555,976) racing primarily in open allowances and residence restricted company.\u00a0 But the big chestnut showed that he belongs here last time out with an eye catching stretch move which propelled him to a second place finish in the Grade III Fort Lauderdale at Gulfstream.\u00a0 That ended a series of five consecutive wins for the son of Alnaab and the Seattle Slew matron, Pompous Slew.\u00a0 It is obvious that trainer Chipendale has this one in peak form right now.\u00a0 Must respect.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Who will be next to join the Tally Ho honor roll?\u00a0 Come on out and see for yourself!<\/DIV>
