I have taken a trip to nearby Indiana for a nice little 3 year old race of which a field of eight colts and geldings will be hitting the track in hope of finding the wire first.\u00a0 I do not know if we have any Bluegrass Derby contenders here, but time and the future will soon tell their fortunes.\u00a0 I have taken a trip around the barn area this morning and had the pleasure of speaking with some of the jockeys, Owners and Trainers.\u00a0 They have posted the morning line odds and post positions, so let us go see how this field looks for the Magical Act Dirt Dash.<\/p>\n

This colt sired by Sea The Stars comes in after a disappointing last outing in the G2, Club Stakes in Kentucky where he finished way back in 7th<\/sup> in that race on 11\/25\/2018.\u00a0 Prior to that on 10\/21\/2018 he placed 2nd<\/sup> in the Pro Deed Dirt Juvenile going 8.5 furlongs.\u00a0 Stepping down in class today could make him a contender against this field.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2.\u00a0
