The 9th<\/SUP> running of the Haw Haw Derby will see many future stars in the 3YO division go to head at a 1 1\/8M on the Turf in Illinois<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The average speed rating for the winner the last six years has been a 108.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The record for this race is held by 3-time graded stakes winner Medusa\u2019s Blood with a 117.99.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>There seems to be a lot of speed in this race with the big closers hoping for a speed duel which they can benefit from in the homestretch.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

KIRBY\u2019S BEST YET (8-1)<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Dynaformer x Forty Niner<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

O\/T Kingkirby<\/I> 3YO colt is coming off a four week rest spot after heartbreaking loss in its last stakes race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This horse likes to go 11 to 12 furlongs and this will be its first attempt at this shorter distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This winner of the Grade I Sydney Derby<\/B> and Derby<\/B><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> de<\/B> English<\/B> won its first nine races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This colt likes sit off the pace at about seven lengths and can post a 104-106 rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The jock selection of Bonsteel has won a disappointing 6% of its races this year<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

KEPLER LORD (5-1)<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Rahy x Sadler\u2019s Wells<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This young colt has averaged a 104 rating off of its last three races going one mile to a 1 1\/16M.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The added distance to Saturday\u2019s races should benefit the morning line co-favorite.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It is coming off two straight allowance wins, yet in its four attempts at stakes competition the best finish was second.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A problem could be it is coming off of only a two rest.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It has seen a bump in the past when doing this before, but history says this horse will drop 2-3 points.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

C YOU AT THE WIRE (8-1)<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

High Chaparral x Rainbow Quest<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This is one of the few front runners in this race and winner of its last race, the Grade II Boston Derby<\/st1:place><\/st1:City><\/B>; in which it posted an amazing 111 rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>That last race was its first triple digit speed rating and has enjoyed its four week layoff.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This is a lightly raced horse in regards to route races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In seven previous starts its only win was the Derby<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I look for this horse to go for the lead and with few graded stakes former winners in this race it could experience a wire to wire win.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

GREELEY<\/B><\/st1:City><\/st1:place>\u2019S PRAYER (9-1)<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Mr. Greeley x Danehill<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This 3YO colt has experienced numerous changes to surface and distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It broke its maiden on turf but then was switched to the dirt.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>O\/T bongo<\/I> made a switch back to turf three races back and was rewarded with three straight wins. This colt will sit about six lengths off the pace before making its move.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It has a great late kick and its last race three weeks back resulted in a 105 speed rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

PEPPET (8-1)<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Vindication x Danzig<\/st1:place><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This 3YO colt has also experience changes to distance and surface.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It won three of its first six races on turf, but was switch to turf four races back.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This latest switch has resulted in two wins and second.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>O\/T financr<\/I> made another switch to dirt in which it popped at 107 speed rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It has finished in the money in 15 of its sixteen races but it looks at mid-90s turf horse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It does have two small stakes wins on the turf, but I see its future being on the dirt.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

WOODEN MAST (14-1)<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Mizzen Mast x Woodman<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This long shot has drawn Logan<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> (16%) as the jock and that makes it legitimate runner in the race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It definitely is the tough luck kid for O\/T rcdlogan<\/I> as it has attempt 12 stakes races with no wins, but has finished second four times; along with 3 thirds.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In its last six of its seven races it has been in the lead or challenging for the lead as they turn for home.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In the last five it has faded.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It did break the triple digits three races back, but its numbers have been going south ever since.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

YESIMALLLITUPAGAIN (34-1)<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Fantastic Light x Seeking the Gold<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

The Grade III Theregoesmyhero<\/B> winner will once again try to re-capture the glory.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In its last six stakes races since, the best finish was 9th<\/SUP>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It seems better suited for races longer than 10 furlongs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This long shot had a nice tuner in its last race posting a 97.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

GRAND TRIGGER (15-1)<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Double Trigger x Intikhab<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

You have to love the fact that O\/T karolyi<\/I> stayed with this young colt since it took six races to break its maiden.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This will be its first attempt at a stakes race and will be one of the first races in recent memory that it has not been one of the early morning favorites.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This Allowance NW3X colt posted a 101 in its last race, and I expect this horse to vie for the lead.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It has led six of its last eight races, losing ground in seven of those races at 1 1\/8M or longer.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I wonder what would happen in a sprint race, its going to have tough competition up front Saturday.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

WAFFEL HOUSE (47-1)<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

More Than Ready x Metfield<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This 3YO colt broke its maiden in its first race on the turf.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It\u2019s another Allowance NW3X race horse taking a shot at a stakes race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It\u2019s got low speed numbers, but it seems that it might thrive going 1 1\/4M or longer.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This will be its fourth attempt at a stakes win and was smoked in its last graded stakes race two races back.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

RUIN (12-1)<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Galileo x Kris S.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

I just love this lightly raced long shot that could easily post a 100-102 rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here another one of these allowance horses that has posted triple digits in two of its last three races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This will be its second attempt at a stakes races and the first attempt was way too early in this horse\u2019s career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Expect this horse to sit about four lengths off the leaders and it has nice kick.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This distance suits this young colt perfectly, with a good jock on board and my love of long shots.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The five week layoff makes me think that O\/T theagakhan<\/I> has baby primed for victory.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

DAKOTA (14-1)<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

You and I x Homebuilder<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This 3YO colt started its career with eight races on the dirt resulting in one win.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The switch to turf resulted in 5 wins in a row.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It was outclassed in the Grade II Boston Derby<\/st1:place><\/st1:City><\/B> last out, but also there was a switch in its running style.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I expect O\/T ceclaim8<\/I> will switch back to its old pattern of being 10 lengths off the leaders.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It has two stakes wins in which it posted a nice 103 average speed rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Another problem is that it has faced very small fields of only about six horses, so its record could be misleading.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

EUROTRASH (5-1)<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Eurosilver x Storm Cat<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This 3YO colt has won the Grade II Bean Sprout<\/B> along with the Grade II Ascot Mile<\/B> and will have the top jock on board today, Munoz (21%).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This horse has been successful on both dirt and turf winning four of its first nine dirt race which included three stakes wins.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The switch to turf was resulted in three wins in eight races with two graded wins and a stakes win.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Its last race was at this distance but on dirt so you should throw out its 94 rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This colt should post a 105-107 rating and be sitting seven lengths off the leaders as they turn for home, but its best form is when it is 4 lengths off the pace.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

KALEIDSCOPE EYES (8-1)<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Mineshaft x Sadler\u2019s Wells<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This 3YO broke its maiden on turf has moved nicely through the allowance conditions.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It has small stakes win at this distance and has posted a 104 speed rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The lack of graded stakes wins makes this hard horse to decide on, I expect it will sit about 5 lengths off the pace and should make a big move.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In the Boston<\/B><\/st1:City> Derby<\/SPAN><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> it made a late move that caught my eye along with some of the big bettors and with rest; it could pull off a slight upset Saturday.<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

SUMMER IMPULSE (12-1)<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Afleeet Alex x Summer Squall<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This is another young colt that started its career on dirt with three wins in 9 races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The switch to turf eight races back has rewarded O\/T sprinter22<\/I> with four wins including a stakes victory.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It does have the ability to pop a 100-102 rating, but it is coming off of only two weeks rest.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This allowance horse hopes to hang about six lengths off the leaders will need to make its move a little earlier since so many of these others have a bigger kick in the stretch.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This race is light on former graded stakes winning horses.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If C You At The Wire<\/B> gets to the lead and runs unabated this race is over.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Eurotrash<\/B> and Kaleidscope Eyes<\/B> will definitely be making big moves in the homestretch hope to catch the front runners.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I love long shots and in the last two weeks I\u2019ve found a couple.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This week, Ruin<\/B> could reward the bettors with a nice return at 12-1.<\/P>
