1.Deel With It<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owner:thethumb3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 year old Grade One winning millionaire gelding by Dundeel has a career record of 7 wins, 6 seconds, and 2 thirds in 21 starts with lifetime earnings of nearly $1.5 million. His most notable career victory came in the Gr.1 10.5f Mr Met Cup where he closed powerfully from last of 14 to storm home to a 2 length victory earning a 117 speed rating. He has hit the board in 2 of 3(66%) in Gr.1 races with his worst finish coming last time out when he finished 4th beaten just 1 length in the Gr.1 Movieland Turf Cup. Classy closer is always dangerous with a clean trip. Contender <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.Heart’s Rage<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owner:given2ndchances<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 year old Grade One winning multi millionaire by Heart’s Cry has a record of 13 wins, 4 seconds, and 2 thirds in 24 career starts with earnings approaching $3 million dollars. A four time Grade One winner, his most notable win came in the Gr.1 12f San Fransisco Capitan Handicap where he stalked the pace and prevailed by 1 1\/4 length registering a 117 speed rating. He his the winningest (13 wins) and most accomplished horse in the field. He has the class and tactical advantage here and comes into this race seeking his 6th graded stakes victory. Top Pick<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Fool’s Idol<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owner:thezoo3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 year old horse by Curlin has a record of 6 wins, 5 seconds, and 4 thirds in 21 lifetime starts with career earnings of over $300,000. His most recent race was his best, a 10.5f stakes race where he closed from nearly 15 lengths back to finish 2nd beaten just 1\/2 length and registering a 114 speed rating. He is winless in 3 career starts on turf but has arguably done his best running there having narrowly missed in 2 stakes tries and running his best speed ratings in those races. In the Mix <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.Licker By The Bay<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owner:corzican1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 year old filly by New Bay has a record of 1 win and 1 second in 4 career starts with lifetime earnings of over $30,000. Her best race was a 2nd place finish last time out in a 10.5f 2L allowance where she rallied to finish 2nd beaten 3 lengths. Filly is up against it here with a lot working against her, she will be facing males, older, and Gr.1 company for the first time. Filly will need something unexpected to happen to contend here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Blazer Plowed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owner:psycho<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 year old Grade Two winning gelding by Iffraaj has a record of 6 wins, 6 seconds, and 3 thirds in 27 career starts with lifetime earnings of $550,000. His most notable win came in the Gr.2 10f Kakarazuka Tinen Cup where he sat mid pack and got up by a head for the win registering a 117 speed rating. Veteran runner has a graded success but he is 0 for 5 in the money against Gr.1 competition. He needs to prove he can compete at this level but he does face a short field and has run a race that would be good enough to win here. In the Mix<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Megaforma<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owner:frankster<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 year old stakes winning millionaire by American Pharoah has a record of 4 wins, 6 seconds, and 2 thirds in 17 lifetime starts with career earnings of nearly $1.5 million dollars. Although he is a stakes winner, his most notable race has come in defeat, a 2nd place finish in the Gr.1 12f Japan Classic where he closed to finish 1\/2 length behind the winner earning him a 117 speed rating. He was also 2nd last time out in the Gr.1 Tattersalls Gold over 10.5f equalling his career best 117 speed rating. Consistent horse has been in the money in 71% of his races including at the highest level. In the Mix<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Ice Spike<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owner:crackpot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 year old Grade Two winning multimillionaire by Tapit has a career record of 5 wins, 3 seconds, and 3 thirds in 19 starts with earnings of over $2 million dollars. His most notable victory came in the Gr.2 12f The Great Volt where he stalked the pace and powered home by 2 1\/2 lengths registering a 113 speed rating. He has run very well in Gr.1 competition having hit the board in the Italian Derby, Ark de Comicdog, and Judgemont International. He has faced the best of his generation and been competitive. Classy and consistent runner is a Contender<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.Mortarfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owner:bailey2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 year old stakes winning gelding by Bricks and Mortar has a record of 11 wins, 4 seconds, and 2 thirds in 31 lifetime starts with career earnings of nearly $550,000. His most notable race came in the Gr.1 11f United Countries Handicap as a 4 year old where he closed to finish 2nd beaten 1\/4 length earning a 114 speed rating. He is the most experienced runner in the field with 31 career starts and he has the second most wins with 11. His best races would make him competitive here but he appears to be over he hill and would need a reversal in form to contend here. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
