Dancing Master Favored in Saturday Feature<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

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

Indiana<\/SPAN><\/B><\/st1:place><\/st1:State> – Five 2 YO’s will take a run at the Exclusive Gulch Stakes here on Saturday afternoon.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The mile and a sixteenth, $80,000 race over the turf course will be the longest distance any of these juveniles have attempted.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The race was named after a hard knocking old horse that never won a stakes race but did win nine races from 54 starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>By Thunder Gulch, Exclusive Gulch has one foal to race – a winner.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I caught up with most of the entrants taking their last exercise before the race on Thursday morning.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

Noah Armstrong will take the reins of the favorite Dancing Master<\/B> (8\/5).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Owned and trained by Yunkai<\/I>, this pretty bay colt by Pientre Celebre has only a maiden win but was a closing second in the Get N High Stakes in his very next attempt.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He looked very solid as he took an easy two mile gallop on a long rein.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

Highest Raider<\/SPAN><\/B> (2\/1) was about as one-sided as the whole crew over at DelPen.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The big hammer-headed dark bay colt was supposed to gallop an easy mile but kept wheeling to the right, much to the exercise girl’s chagrin.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She finally got him straightened out and he finished up well.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A son of Alnaab is owned and trained by Chipendale<\/I> and is one of the most seasoned colts in the race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has never been out of the money and has two wins from six starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has some gas and improving speed numbers but distance will be a question.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

The light bay son of Rainbow Quest, Indefensible<\/B> (5\/2) went by me in a long gallop and was hitting the ground well.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Leggo<\/I> is the trainer of this white faced colt and he is one that has just been waiting for the distances to get longer.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He looked awfully good in his workout and may well be the one to beat.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

Slairk<\/SPAN><\/I> sends out the undefeated colt Atavism<\/B> (9\/2).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He won his only start at 5 1\/2 furlongs and will be making a big step up on Saturday but the royally bred dark brown colt by Kingmambo had a lovely ground covering trot as he jogged by going the wrong way of the track for just a light exercise.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

Tempermental<\/SPAN><\/B> (7\/1) is the long shot of the group but not without a chance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The almost black colt by Danzig Connection has two wins from four starts and his speed figures are improving.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A groom for owner\/trainer Applefarms<\/I>, had the colt out grazing and believe, me this colt looks like a racehorse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>As with the entire field, distance is always a question but a question that will be answered Saturday afternoon.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Good Luck to all the<\/SPAN><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
