Post 1 \u2013 NAPLES LANE
\nOdds \u2013 4\/1
\nOwner \u2013 given88
\nPedigree \u2013 MALIBU MOON x REDOUTE’S CHOICE x KINGMAMBO
\nNAPLES LANE is sired by Malibu Moon is the 3rd runner out of the EOY multiple G1 winning (Breeders\u2019 Bowl Distaff winner) multi-millionaire WISTER ROAD. NAPLES LANE started his career with 6 races on the dirt and then switched to turf. This 4-year-old colt has proved he belongs in the top caliber races when he took the G1 The Cobbler Mile. He faced off against Mowbray in his last in the G1 Eddie O Cap where he was on the lead but could not keep it until the finish. He has posted 121 and 120 speeds in 2 of his last 4 races. This given trained runner is co-morning line favorite and is a contender here.<\/p>\n
Post 2 \u2013 THE FALCATA
\nOdds \u2013 29\/1
\nOwner \u2013 fairhaven1
\nPedigree \u2013 CHURCHILL (IRE) x SEEKING THE GOLD x NORTHERN DANCER
\nThis 3-year-old lenny271 trained colt by Churchill (IRE) is one of 13 runners out of the G1 winning millionaire broodmare COMPENSATION. Out of those 13, COMPENSATION has produced a G1 winner and 2 G3 winners. THE FALCATA is competing in a G1 and facing older horses for the first time. He has shown steady improvement is his recent races but will need to show more than he previously showed winning the Seattle Habitat Turf Mile. If you think he can handle the older horses, 29\/1 would be a sweet price to cash in on.<\/p>\n
Post 3 \u2013 GOROSAURUS
\nOdds \u2013 4\/1
\nOwner \u2013 champions10
\nPedigree \u2013 ZOFFANY x GALILEO (IRE) x DYNAFORMER
\nGOROSAURUS is sired by Zoffany based on the G3 winning CELTIC NIGHTMARE. This 5-year-old gelding has come into his own in the last 2 races taking the G3 The Marcy\u2019s Fort and the G2 Fivestarnick Handicap. He posted a 123 in his last race and will need a similar effort to take this G1 in his 1st attempt versus top competition. This stoners trainee cuts back a half furlong here and is listed as the co-favorite at 4\/1.<\/p>\n
Post 4 \u2013 IRON KING LV
\nOdds \u2013 14\/1
\nOwner \u2013 grtnotion
\nPedigree \u201314\/1
\nKingman has sired this atthewire trained 4-year-old gelding that is the 1st runner out of IRON JAMDANI. IRON KING LV is making his first start for his new connections and will face a tough test here. With his highest quality wins being at the allowance NW3X level, he is listed in the morning line at 14\/1. It will take a much-improved effort for IRON KING LV to get his picture taken here.<\/p>\n
Post 5 \u2013 APPROACH POINT
\nOdds \u2013 9\/1
\nOwner \u2013 greta1
\nPedigree \u2013 POINT OF ENTRY x NEW APPROACH (IRE) x KINGMAMBO
\nThis 5-year-old horse is by Point Of Entry out of MAMBO APPROACH. APPROACH POINT is the 2nd of 3 runners out of MAMBO APPROACH. Trained by greta1, he has a G3 win (The Patrick Ewing) on his resume. He steps up here to take on his toughest field yet after an attempt at the G2 Fivestarnick Handicap. Listed at 9\/1 in the morning line I believe he would need a career best effort to take the top prize.<\/p>\n
Post 6 \u2013 NORTHERN TSUNAMI
\nOdds \u2013 8\/1
\nOwner \u2013 branrg
\nPedigree \u2013 NORTH LIGHT x FORTY NINER x A.P. INDY
\nNORTHERN TSUNAMI is the old man of the field. This 6-year-old is by North Light out of the G3 winning broodmare GLAD GIRLS. NORTHERN TSUNAMI is one of 4 graded winners out of GLAD GIRLS. This richgins trainee is making his 2nd start after unsuccessfully attempting to defend his title in the G2 Fivestarnick Handicap. He will need to regain his 2017 \u2013 2018 form to be successful here. He is currently listed at 9\/1 in the morning line.<\/p>\n
Post 7 \u2013 UPSTANDING GUY
\nOdds \u2013 9\/2
\nOwner \u2013 rsb
\nPedigree \u2013 FRANKEL (GB) x FORTY NINER x A.P. INDY
\nThis 5-year-old is by Frankel and is also out of the broodmare GLAD GIRLS. UPSTANDING GUY is making his 2nd start after a 4-month break. He matched his career best speed figure in his last start finishing 2nd in the G2 Fivestarnick Handicap. This richgins trainee also has a G3 win in The Next Episode and was G1 placed in The Parking Ticket. His best races have seen him sit off the pace and strike when the pace falters. Listed here at 9\/2 he seems to be a pretty good fit.<\/p>\n
Post 8 \u2013 BLUE KORNSNAKE
\nOdds \u2013 7\/1
\nOwner \u2013 korn
\nPedigree \u2013 DUBAWI (IRE) x PIVOTAL x SADLER’S WELLS
\nBLUE KORNSNAKE is sired by Dubawi (IRE) and is the first runner out of the multiple G1 winning multi-millionaire YELLOW KORNSNAKE. Trained by kwikvett, BLUE KORNSNAKE has competed in 23 races, which is tops in this field and has also the top earner in the field with over $2 million in earnings. His last win was in June of 2018 in the G2 The United Invitational at 9 furlongs. Would need to duplicate his G2 effort to get the win here.<\/p>\n
Post 9 \u2013 SHERPA MYTH
\nOdds \u2013 9\/1
\nOwner \u2013 ace6
\nPedigree \u2013 GALILEO (IRE) x KRIS S. x DANEHILL
\nThis 5-year-old is by Galileo (IRE) out of the G2 winning broodmare MYTHOLOGY. She has had 1 G1 winner and 2 other graded winners out of 10 runners. This ace trained runner has had 4 consecutive G1 races with his best finish coming in the G1 The Road Kill Mile. SHERPA MYTH should be midpack early and will attempt to finish strong. He turns back in distance here and is listed at 9\/1 in the morning line. He will need to improve on his career best effort here.<\/p>\n
Post 10 \u2013 MOWBRAY
\nOdds \u2013 9\/2
\nOwner \u2013 liam28
\nPedigree \u2013 SUPER SAVER x DYLAN THOMAS x KINGMAMBO
\nMOWBRAY is sired by Super Saver and is the 3rd runner out of KINGS MEADOWS. Trained by liam, this 4-year-old colt started his career with 7 races on the dirt with only a maiden win. He turned into a completely different runner when switched to the grass. Since the switch, he has won 6 out of 7 races with a G3 win and a G1 win in his last 2 races. In his last 4 races his lowest speed figure is 119 with his top speed being 125. He turns back in distance today and at 9\/2 in the morning line is tough not to like today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
