A field of ten Three-Year Old Colts and Geldings will enter the Big Apple starting gate in the $100,000 ESR Weirdo on Maple Street Stakes<\/i> to be run at Seven Furlongs over the Dirt Course.<\/p>\n

MR. MISTERIOSO \u2013<\/b> the trotter1<\/i> trained 3-Year Old Bay Colt by Quality Road<\/i> is the first offspring of the stakes place Mare L’ANGELOMISTERIOSO<\/b> (Street Cry<\/i>) has been cruising through conditions while testing for class in a couple of stakes appearances along the way; the KY Bred enters the field off a pair of Allowance victories, the last coming at this distance while posting a career best 97 speed figure in his last start while besting EXAGGERATE MY JAMZ<\/b>, who came out of this race to finish second in the G2 Gary Asher<\/i> last week in New York…dangerous<\/p>\n

NO DOUBT ITS BEN \u2013<\/b> the AUS Bred Not A Single Doubt<\/i> 3-Year Old Bay Colt is out of the G1 winning mare BENNY BEING BENNY<\/b> (More Than Ready<\/i>), Dam of the G3 winning BENNY LOVES CANDY<\/b>, and races under the Five Point Crown<\/i> of the kingab<\/i> stables; his career best 103 speed figure (tops in this field) in his last start, an Allowance event in Pennsylvania, was only good enough for second place money despite the outstanding performance; makes his first stakes appearance here on Saturday, but hails from a family tree that suggests a smooth transition to that level based on his Dam\u2019s victory in the 7-furlong G1 Ode to Barbaro Stakes<\/i>…one to watch<\/p>\n

DAVID ANTONIO \u2013<\/b> the ivanyanil<\/i> trained 3-Year Old Light Grey Colt by Distorted Humor<\/i> out of the multi-stakes producing Mare GALLOPER<\/b> (Unbridled\u2019s Song<\/i>), Dam to the G2 winning AYUNTAMIENTO<\/b>, has finished ITM in 6 of 7 starts while sprinting , his lone hiccup coming in the G3 Los Angeles Prevue<\/i> two races back; the KY Bred is the only other horse in the field to record a triple digit speed figure, that coming in his last start, when drawing away from an allowance field in a NY Prep; ran third to the G2 winning QUALITY WING<\/b> and multi -stakes winning SUMMER INVASION<\/b> in the ESR NYCowboy Juvenile Dirt Stakes<\/i> as a\u00a0 2yo last March and fits in nicely with these…never better<\/p>\n

DREAM EXCHANGE \u2013<\/b> a 3-Year Old Roan by Jess\u2019s Dream<\/i> out of an Exchange Rate<\/i> mare has been on the board in all of his last six starts since being Gelded and switched to the Turf for the valesa<\/i> racing stables; the Florida Bred has had mixed results while racing on the Dirt, but made a good account of\u00a0 himself when he was 5th<\/sup> in ESR NYCowboy Juvenile Dirt Stakes<\/i> finishing just 2 \u00bd lengths behind DAVID ANTONIO<\/b>; enters the ESR feature off a win on the Turf at the claiming level, but last two Dirt appearances cast some doubt on his chances here on Saturday…in tough<\/p>\n

DYNALAW \u2013<\/b> the nycowboy<\/i> trained 3-Year Old Bay Colt by Lawman <\/i>is out of a Cape Cross<\/i> x Dynaformer <\/i>Dam Sire; the IRE Bred makes his first Dirt appearance after 11 career Turf starts that include top three finishes in 4 Stakes appearances and a 5th<\/sup> place finish against the 9th<\/sup> ranked Turf 3yo LUXURY COMEBACK<\/b> and 26th<\/sup> ranked SEA OF FLAMES<\/b> in the G3 Looking Forward Stakes<\/i> in September; certainly has the class to compete here, but how will his Turf form transition onto the dirt…your call<\/p>\n

TWIST OF EVIL \u2013<\/b> the casino<\/i> trained 3-Year Old Bay Colt by Hard Spun<\/i> out of a Medaglia D\u2019oro<\/i> x Seattle Slew<\/i> mare makes only his 4th<\/sup> career start and his first start since the ESR Champagne Reflection<\/i> back in October; winner of his first two races, it was easy to see why the slotmaster<\/i> was anxious to test his brilliantly bred Colt in the October feature, his only career loss; will he be able to display the brilliance of his first two starts after a lengthy layoff is the bettor\u2019s concern…chance if ready<\/p>\n

FIGHT FACE \u2013<\/b> the spinround<\/i> trained 3 Year Old Brown Colt by Street Sense<\/i> out of a Ghostzapper<\/i> x Giant\u2019s Causeway<\/i> mare returns to a sprint after trying his hand at racing around two turns; two-turn debut was impressive but last two left him far back from the field, but in all fairness, the 3yo did take on older horses very early in the 3yo season, a level where not even the best 3yo\u2019s can compete; speeds have gotten better with every start, so don\u2019t let that last pair of races fool you, toss the last two and this one is sitting on a big race for a big price…watch the tote<\/p>\n

PUNKIN DOCTOR Z \u2013<\/b> the 3-Year Old Bay Colt by City Zip out of stakes winning, multi-stakes producing a mare DOCTOR J. O.<\/b> (Danzig<\/i>), Dam of the G1 winning DOCTOR DANZIG<\/b> and G3 winning THE TEACHER<\/b> has been all over the map for the ace<\/i> trained KY Bred; the HOT RACE Maiden winner over the Dirt followed up that start with Stakes appearance around two turns Turf ESR Wheaton Recurrence<\/i>, then a Turf sprint in NW1x Alw followed by his 3yo debut in a NW4x; there is no doubt this Colt is going to be a good one, at least pedigree suggests he will, and once he settles into suitable conditions he just might prove it…not on this roller coaster<\/p>\n

WILD RIVER NATIVE \u2013<\/b> the nextbonus<\/i> trained 3-Year Old Chestnut Colt by Shackleford<\/i> out of the stakes producing Mare EXCLUSIVE MATT<\/b> (Forty Niner<\/i>) used the Turf to Dirt angle to break his maiden in Maryland in his last start; the lightly raced KY Bred complemented his first victory with a career best 80 speed-figure in his first start beyond 5.5-furlongs; ambitiously placed, connections thought well enough of his last start to earn him a shot at the Rez feature…faces tough challenge<\/p>\n

TOO SOON CADET \u2013<\/b> the cadet<\/i> racing stables enters his 3-Year Old Bay Colt Maiden by Distorted Humor<\/i> out of the G3 winning Mare GOVE VINDICATED<\/b> (Vindication<\/i>) into the ESR Stakes feature; making only his third career start, the impressively bred Colt has suffered a couple of bad beats and could easily be two for two with a little racing luck; connections are solid and this horse wouldn\u2019t be here if they didn\u2019t think he had a chance…might surprise<\/p>\n

Handicapping the Field<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

There is an apparent separation in this field, MR. MISTERIOSO<\/b>, NO DOUBT ITS BEN<\/b>, and DAVID ANTONIO <\/b>making up the trio of horses to beat in the ESR feature.\u00a0 The next layer of competitors gives us too many questions to be answered.\u00a0 DAVID ANTONIO<\/b> and MR. MISTERIOSO <\/b>have demonstrated the most ability at this level of racing while NO DOUBT ITS BEN <\/b>boasts that 103 speed-figure informing all that he should not be taken lightly.<\/p>\n

DREAM EXCHANGE <\/b>and DYNALAW<\/b>, <\/b>and on a lesser scale PUNKIN DOCTOR Z <\/b>are all likely to perform better over the Turf Course, but DYNALAW <\/b>gets the edge in consideration over the other two.<\/p>\n

TWIST OF EVIL <\/b>scares me, and if it weren\u2019t for a 5-month layoff, would be mentioned in the top paragraph with the main contenders.\u00a0 I just think he needs a race and is more suited to two turns.<\/p>\n

WILD RIVER NATIVE<\/b> is coming off his best race and figures to be in top form, but faces a formidable group of three year old\u2019s in his stakes debut.<\/p>\n

TOO SOON CADET <\/b>hails from the cadet<\/i> barns and shouldn\u2019t be ignored despite the fact he is seeking his first victory; I just don\u2019t bet maidens against winners.<\/p>\n

FIGHT FACE <\/b>is the sneak of the field.\u00a0 Last two are a complete toss, he just wasn\u2019t going to compete against older horses in January and February, but there is something to be said for the experienced gained in each of those starts and the return to his age group makes him a very dangerous player in this field with big odds potential.<\/p>\n

The Picks<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

FIGHT FACE \u2013 I\u2019m going to go out on a limb here, he is much better than last two show<\/b><\/p>\n

MR. MISTERIOSO \u2013 likes the distance and has a proven form<\/b><\/p>\n

DAVID ANTONIO \u2013 last was bang up and is dangerous in here<\/b><\/p>\n

NO DOUBT ITS BEN \u2013 must respect the \u2018Beyer\u2019 number<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
