For health and safety reasons, mine in particular I thought I would stay away from the East Coast tracks with hurricane Florence bearing down.\u00a0 So I have decided this week I would avoid the chaos and head for Ohio to see the Beat Freedom Turf Special where a nice field of nine colts and geldings will be going 9.5 furlongs on Firm Turf for a purse of $100,000.\u00a0 The morning line odds and post positions have now been set.\u00a0 Let us go take a little preview of this nice field of nice horses as they go head to head in the Buckeye State as they prepare for the Beat Freedom Turf Special.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Sired by Tapit and was a Stakes winner his last time out in the Otto Oh No Turf Memorial.\u00a0 He ran a nice 109 speed rating and went wire to wire to get up by \u00be of a length.\u00a0 In Graded company he has struggled, but in small stakes races he has shown to be very competitive.\u00a0 If he can do a repeat of that last outing with that speed he will be competitive again here today.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
In his nice career starts all but one has been on the dirt.\u00a0 In his last outing he switched over to turf which he seemed to take well to.\u00a0 He ran in Indiana on 07\/29\/2018 at 8.25 furlongs in that outing on the turf in a $30,000 Allowance where he grabbed the lead in the stretch and best the field by 1 \u00bd lengths.\u00a0 He has never gone 9.5 furlongs or better before and comes in with little turf experience.\u00a0 He will need to prove himself a competitor at this distance and surface.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Sired by Take Charge Indy this colt has shown some struggles in several of his recent prior outings.\u00a0 He last ran on 07\/28\/2018 in Delaware in an attempt for The Luchadores Del Gato Stakes where he never founds his legs finished a disappointing 13th<\/sup> and was 17 \u00bd lengths off the lead at the wire.\u00a0 He has gone the distance before, but will need to find a little more gas in the tank against this crowd.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.\u00a0 Theatrical Heart\u00a0

outing which was his first stakes attempt on 08\/04\/2018 in Minnesota where he ran in the Canasha Turf Special he showed he could complete at the stakes level and picked up a nice 2nd<\/sup> place finish with a 107 speed rating.\u00a0 He is experienced going the distance, so this should not be a negative factor for him today.\u00a0 If he can repeat what he did in his last outing he will be a horse to watch in this race.\u00a0 He was bred in Japan and sired by Heart\u2019s Cry.\u00a0 He seems to enjoy coming from the back of the field or off the pace in his best outings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

7th<\/sup> in that race.\u00a0 He is coming back to the turf and has a couple of stakes placings in his career.\u00a0 He has successfully shown the distance will not be an issue for him in this race.\u00a0 He has a top speed rating of 105 and he will need to find that again to compete with this nice field of colts.\u00a0 He is the only gelding in this race today.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6.\u00a0

attempt.\u00a0 He was claimed back in March of this year and has taken well to the training of his new owner and trainer showing steady improvement.\u00a0 He ran a top speed of 106 in that last stakes

wire.\u00a0 He hit a top speed of 105 in that race going 10 furlongs.\u00a0 In his 11 career turf starts he has only found himself off the boards once and that was back in October of last year.\u00a0

stakes placing horse as a 2 year old is coming back as a 3 year old once again to\u00a0throws his name in the hat.\u00a0 He has recently had a couple of nice Allowance runs and seems to like going the two turns and longer distance.\u00a0 His last two outings he found a speed of 105 in both those Allowance races.\u00a0 As he steps back up in class here against a tough field he will need to prove he can find those speeds and better at the stakes level.\u00a0 He is a good horse to watch as he takes a step up here.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9.\u00a0 Nuka Archer\u00a0

The only Graded winner in the field.\u00a0 He is a G1 winner and has run at that level in his last three outings.\u00a0 This colt sired by Kitten\u2019s Joy should be a crowd favorite at the betting window as he takes a step down in class for this race.\u00a0 He is also the top money winner in this field.\u00a0 He breaks from the outside post and likes to run up front.\u00a0 He may need to use a little extra gas to find himself placed where he likes running.\u00a0 In his last outing he ran on 08\/12\/2018 in the Big Red Stakes in Illinois and placed 3rd<\/sup> in that G1 event.\u00a0 Distance is no issue here for him and he may be the horse to beat here with that 109 speed rating in his last outing against Graded company.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Good luck to all horses and all
