Independent stable sending out a very nice colt by Lemon Drop Kid.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The \u201cKid\u201d has 10 graded winners and is know to have later maturing progeny.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Two races back this colt won nicely in the Pan Americana G2 at <\/SPAN>Fla.<\/SPAN><\/st1:place><\/st1:State>\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Loves today\u2019s distance and usually hangs back 5 lengths or so before making a move in the pace setters.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He should have a nice go at it today with the speed in this. \u00a0<\/SPAN>He had a good prep after a 2 month rest in a mile allowance at today\u2019s track.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Very much a contender.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

Another independent entering former 3yo champion Cortez.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Fantastic 3yo season on the grass beating some big names at the time.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Picked up a G2 win as a 4yo and is looking for better fortune this year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Sired by High Chaparrel who has 14 graded progeny to date.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Has been hoofing it in longer events recently, but now drops back to the distance that made him a huge threat in his 3yo season.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Fairly versatile in his running style; and if he\u2019s on top of his game, should be in the mix somehow.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

From the powerful GRsimsters comes this awesome Awesome Again colt.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Probably one of the hottest sires in the sim at present. \u00a0<\/SPAN>Another sire that statistically throws 75% dirt runners.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Colts last 10 outs have resulted in 7 wins and 3 seconds. \u00a0\u00a0<\/SPAN>On a roll and going for a 4peat, with 2 G1\u2019s looking like a good possibility.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Can go for the lead or stalk in this, and look good doing so.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>No problem writing this colt is a contender.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

EWC entry by the pyeman.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Lightly raced 5yo (is that possible?), who broke his maiden in a claimer and hasn\u2019t seen one since.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Has one listed win and cashed checks in a couple of graded races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The horse appears to like it at around 10f but has produced some results in longer at lesser competition.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>May try for the lead in this, but will need a better closing kick to survive late rushes.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

RASH entry by stoners who also has the #13 horse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Although bred to be a champion, this scratch bred 5yo has been one of the many well bred so-so\u2019s.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A nice allowance horse that can fire once in a while at sprint distances.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As name suggests, this guy will need to smuggle something illegal to be competitive here.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

Great Plains<\/SPAN><\/st1:place> entry sired by Ratki, who as of yet hasn\u2019t produced much.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The name implies this animal is neither male nor female, so if bred in the future, we have to wonder at the progeny.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As far as performance goes, the colt has a listed win and has gone through conditions easily.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It appears the saddle slipped in his last out after sitting close to the pace for a half mile.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This colt shows some nice potential what with the stamina influence at DS.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If the last out was really an equipment problem, he\u2019s still on fire from his previous start.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>
