MOVIELAND SHINY CUP<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The California dirt track will host this Grade 1 event on Saturday June 22nd<\/sup> with the post time schedule for 3pm EST.\u00a0 The race will cover the distance of One Mile and a Quarter or 10 furlongs.\u00a0 It is restricted to 3 year olds and older and has attracted a very talented field, including a pair of EOY winners as well as 5 other graded stakes winners.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a01- NECROGIANT\u00a0\u00a0 (8-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 stoners<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

4 year old scratch bred son of GIANT\u2019S CAUSEWAY, comes in here on a 3 race winning streak.\u00a0 In fact, since being switched to the main surface has 11 straight top 2 finishes, most coming over this distance.\u00a0 Popped a sweltering 121 SP# last out and draws the rail here in his first graded attempt.\u00a0 I believe this speedy closer has the goods to get it done down the stretch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a02- BARBER OF BAYONNE\u00a0\u00a0 (26-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 baggio<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The handicapper has installed the 4 year old scratch bred son of WILL TAKE CHARGE as the longest shot on the board.\u00a0 Has won both of his last 2 outings over 10f.\u00a0 Made 1 prior graded start last February finishing 9th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Is the recent form surge enough for this mid pack runner to vault past graded company?\u00a0 I feel he may be just a little short on top end speed in this one.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a03- MALRAUX\u00a0\u00a0 (16-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0fernando<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The 4 year old son of NYQUIST out of the stakes winning mare FOURTH SPICE FILLY won the G3 Colorado Sophomore Classic last July, but didn\u2019t win again until last time out.\u00a0 The closer will be hoping to shake off the inconsistency bug that has plagued him since his juvenile campaign.\u00a0 Has yet to hit the board in a full field.\u00a0 I think I will choose to spend my money elsewhere.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a04- CHECK \u2018N BALANCES\u00a0\u00a0 (8-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 maxattack<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The winningest horse in the field is the 6 year old son of WAR FRONT from the graded winning mare MAGNUM OF SAMARA.\u00a0 The 9 time winner will be making his first ever graded start and has not won in 3 outings this year.\u00a0 Has never won above the allowance level despite kicking a 119 SP# last out in a listed stakes caught finishing second.\u00a0 Could possibly be a player here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5- GOLD WAR FRONT\u00a0\u00a0 (12-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0stockswami<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Former EOY winner is this 4 year old scratch bred son of WAR FRONT.\u00a0 Comes in here having won both of his 2019 starts and both were G1\u2019s.\u00a0 The exceptional deep closer was the runner up in the 2018 Bluegrass Derby.\u00a0 Has finished in the money in 7 out of 8 graded races with 5 victories.\u00a0 One thing is for certain, despite the handicapper, they will have to account for him on Saturday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6- CLAYHESTHEPOTTER\u00a0\u00a0 (11-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0willyam13<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The 4 year old stalker is the son of CREATOR and is out of the graded winning mare WHAT IS OBEDIENCE.\u00a0 Winner of the G1 California Handicap in February while putting up a 119 SP#.\u00a0 Has finished in the money in both of his graded starts.\u00a0 Has five straight top 2 finishes and 10 out his last 11.\u00a0 A model of consistency which could bode well for him in this one.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a07- MR. SHAKEDOWN\u00a0\u00a0 (8-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 lenny271<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

This 4 year old is the offspring of MALIBU MOON and the stakes placed mare SHAMROCK SERIES.\u00a0 Has made 4 prior graded starts with a pair of ITM finishes, but yet to pull off the victory in a stakes race.\u00a0 In fact, his last win was back in a September allowance.\u00a0 Has piled up a bunch of on the board finishes, so I guess you can\u2019t completely count him out, he is a gamer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a08- CHRISTMAS FOR BODE\u00a0\u00a0 (11-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 beisbol<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The 5 year old gelding is the scratch bred son of BODEMEISTER, has hit the board in his last 5 starts, including a third in the G2 Grey Fox to close out 2018.\u00a0 Usually prefers stalking type runs but has come from mid pack as well.\u00a0 Dropping back in distance here as last 6 have all been longer.\u00a0 Recent form suggests to me that he has a chance to compete with this field.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a09- MILTON THE MONSTER\u00a0\u00a0 (16-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0aggs<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

4 year old gelding is the product of ANY GIVEN SATURDAY and the graded placed mare DEPUTY SECRETARY.\u00a0 The former EOY winner is a super fast front runner and was the winner of the 2018 New Yorker, but only has 1 win in an allowance race since.\u00a0 Not quite sure what to make of his chances here, has he ran all the speed out of his legs?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10- OVER THE HUMP\u00a0\u00a0 (9-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 mtk76<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

4 year old gelding is the son of MSHAWISH and the graded placed mare I WANT YOUR SAX.\u00a0 He has only failed to hit the tote board once in 10 starts since the surgery.\u00a0 The early speed runner has 2 graded starts, including last out where he was 3rd<\/sup> in the G2 West Coaster.\u00a0 Has made his living at these distances and shown the ability to hold on down the stretch run.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

11- LONG FOR MONTANA\u00a0\u00a0 (11-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 dkyoung<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

5 year old gelding is the son of LONHRO and is based on the he-mare COOKE CITY KID.\u00a0 Enters here on a 2 race win streak, including last out in the G3 Peach State Classic.\u00a0 Also has a G1 victory on his resume in the Muddy Waters Leg II.\u00a0 He has not missed finishing in the money on the main track since the operation.\u00a0 This stalker will sit right behind the lead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

12- EDENBRIDGE GLORY \u00a0\u00a0(6-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 theduke88<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The 4 year old son of DROSSELMEYER and EOY winning mare SWANSEA TRIUMPH has been tabbed by the handicapper as the ML favorite.\u00a0 Will be making his first career start against graded company.\u00a0 Has only failed to hit the cash one time in 15 races.\u00a0 Comes in on a 2 race win streak.\u00a0 He will not challenge for the early lead but has varied the distance off the pace.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

13- RETREAT RIGHTS\u00a0\u00a0 (7-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 pointblank<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

He is a 5 year old scratch bred son of MALIBU MOON.\u00a0 A multiple graded stakes winner, the last being the G1 Muddy Waters Leg III on an off track in December.\u00a0 The deep closer has finished in the money in 2 out of his 3 starts this year both of which were graded.\u00a0 Has shown the stamina to get it done at longer distances.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4 year old offspring of GIANT\u2019S CAUSEWAY and the mare FRANKING THE SLEW.\u00a0 A 2 time G2 winner that has made 5 graded starts this year and has 3 second place finishes all at slightly shorter distance.\u00a0 He usually settles in around mid pack in the early fractions.\u00a0 Not sure if stretching out is the right call, but the outside starting gate will not hamper his riding style.<\/p>\n
