Homebred for texasace02, $1.2 million earner. He was second September 26th in the Canada Turf Grade I at 12 furlongs on good by two with a 110, same turf, and second August 8th in the Windy City Turf Classic Grade I at 10 furlongs on good by a length and a half with a 114, same distance. Second July 4th in the Man Of War Stakes Grade I at 11 furlongs by three with a 112. Won an allowance June 1st at 11 furlongs on yielding by sixteen and a quarter with a 116. CPU 1600 max. He has been right there in Grade I company, just has not gotten over the hump yet. In his three most recent starts he has been the runner-up in second. He is still searching for his first G1 win and hopes to find it here in South Africa representing the DelPenn National residency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bred by tisjuliet, owned by wrathbeard. He was sixth October 10th in the Chief Cook Stakes Grade III at 8 furlongs on good by five and a quarter with a 107, and fourth July 25th in the Cold Cup Cap Grade III at 8 furlongs by two and a half with a 111. Won the His Knees Turf Memorial June 19th at 8 furlongs by a length and three quarters with a 114. CPU 1569. He is a miler stretching out to 10 furlongs, and that is a big ask in a Grade I. His two most recent starts have been in G3 races at 8 furlongs, and he missed the boards in both. He is jumping up in class and will be trying to go 10 furlongs for the first time when he heads out of the paddock to the cheers of an excited crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bred by sat, owned by wrathbeard. He was ninth October 10th in the Mighty Stakes Grade I at 10 furlongs by eleven and a half with a 101, same distance, and sixth September 5th in the Bald Air Turf Route at 9 furlongs by nine and a quarter with a 108. Won the Southern Cross Champion Route June 6th at 9 furlongs by a neck with a 114. CPU 1599. He has run at 10 furlongs in a Grade I before, tenth April 26th in the Manha Manha Challenge Grade I at 10 furlongs by seven with a 110, same distance. He has made two prior G1 starts this season, and both would end in disappointment. He is getting another shot to prove himself when he heads over to his gate to the cheers of an excited crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bred by slowroll7, owned by asrtapit. He was fourth September 20th in The Osmonds Memorial Grade I at 10 furlongs by six and a half with a 109, same distance, and won the Big Blue Stakes August 1st at 10 furlongs by a length and a quarter with a 114, same distance. Fourth June 20th in the Sarahs Blues Turf Stayer at eleven and a half by two and a quarter with a 111. CPU 1539. He has only won three times from 26 starts, but that 114 win at 10 furlongs was real. In his most recent start, he would go this same 10 furlong distance in a G1 race of which he put up a good effort coming in fourth some 6 lengths back at the wire. He needs a little added effort in this start if he is to find the wire first representing the Orphan Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homebred for kingab, 11 wins from 27 starts, $1.1 million. He won The Roberto Clemente Grade I September 26th at 10 furlongs by a length and three quarters with a 117, same distance – that 117 is the best winning figure at 10 furlongs in this field. Won the Foggy A. P. Turf Route August 1st at 10 furlongs by a length and three quarters with a 111, same distance, and won the Father Ice Turf Route February 21st at ten and a half by a length with a 115. CPU 1600 max. He is in the best form of his life, three wins in his last six, two of them at 10 furlongs. He showed up with a powerful 117 speed rating in his most recent start in the G1, The Roberto Clemente at the same distance. He has two wins in a row coming into Saturdays start when he heads out representing the Empire State Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homebred for beerkeg, $1.5 million earner. He was second October 3rd in the AC Turnbulls Stakes Grade I at 10 furlongs by three with a 109, same distance, and third August 8th in the Windy City Turf Classic Grade I at 10 furlongs on good by four with a 111, same distance, to Tuve who was second. Fifth June 12th in the NY Island Cap Grade I at 10 furlongs on yielding by six and three quarters with a 109, same distance. CPU 1375. He is always first early, he was first early in all three of those Grade I races at 10 furlongs. All of his starts this season have been at 10 furlongs. He is a horse that likes the early lead. The other horses in the field will need to run him down and he proved he is not easy to catch in his most recent start coming in second. He will head over to the turf this weekend representing the Midas residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homebred for zbarb8. He was second September 21st in the Euro Grand Prix Grade II at nine and a half by a half with a 117 – that 117 is the best figure in this field at any distance in his last three. Fifth July 12th in the Turf Invaders Stakes Grade II at 9 furlongs by five and a quarter with a 112. CPU 1600 max. He has not won this year, but that 117 second last out says he is sitting on a big one. He has not won a race in the past two seasons and will be moving up in class after running a nice 117 speed at 9.5 furlongs in his most recent start being run down at the wire and came in second by just a half stride. He needs to bring that speed with him to South Africa this weekend when he breaks from his gate representing the Only Stayers residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homebred for hops. He won an allowance October 27th at 10 furlongs on good by seven and a half with a 113, same distance, and was second October 9th in an allowance at 10 furlongs by six and three quarters with a 109, same distance, and second September 4th in an allowance at 10 furlongs by a length with a 108, same distance. CPU 1520. He is coming in off three straight big runs at 10 furlongs, but this is a big step up from allowance to Grade I. He is coming off a nice Allowance win at the distance on the wet turf with a 113 speed rating. He is jumping up in class for this G1 start and will be facing horses with good prior graded starts. He needs to bring his best of efforts this Saturday and show he can be competitive when he makes his way out of the paddock to the cheers of an excited crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homebred for pato7. He was sixteenth July 11th in the Clasificatorias a las Equinics at 10 furlongs by fourteen and a half with a 100, same distance, and third April 11th in The Ambrosia Grade III at 10 furlongs by six and three quarters with a 110, same distance. CPU 1333. He has not won this year, and that sixteenth last out is hard to get past. Two starts back he would show up in third in a G3 start but I am afraid after the flounder in his most recent start he is going to need to show up much improved when he heads over to the turf representing the Latinos Del Mundo residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homebred for statebreds. He won the Peter The Great Turf Special October 3rd at 10 furlongs by five and three quarters with a 113, same distance, and was sixth August 8th in the Windy City Turf Classic Grade I at 10 furlongs on good by eight and a half with a 106, same distance. Fourth June 12th in the NY Island Cap Grade I at 10 furlongs on yielding by five and a half with a 111, same distance. CPU 1478. He has had two prior G1 starts at the distance this season and missed the boards in both. He had a nice Listed Stakes win in his most recent start but is moving back up in class this weekend and he needs to show up sharp representing The Mecca residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bred by tiesto, owned by wrathbeard, $2.1 million earner highest in the field. He was second October 10th in the Eclipse Stakes Grade I at 10 furlongs by three quarters with a 115, same distance, and second August 30th in The Champion Stakes Grade I at 10 furlongs by a length and three quarters with a 115, same distance. Second July 18th in the Eddie O Cap Grade I at 9 furlongs by a length with a 117, and second May 23rd in the Movieland Turf Cup Grade I at 10 furlongs by a length and a half with a 115, same distance. Won the Strange Brew Turf Handicap Grade III January 31st at 9 furlongs by two and three quarters with a 118. CPU 1600 max. He has been second in four straight Grade I races at 9 to 10 furlongs. He is due. In his four most recent starts he has shown up with some nice speed ratings but missed a trip over to the winner’s circle as he keeps coming in second. He needs to change that habit this week as he takes another shot to get his first G1 win when he heads over to the turf to the cheers of an excited crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homebred for coagulate3. Three-year-old, 1-for-5. He won a maiden allowance September 20th at 11 furlongs by four and a quarter with a 98, and was twelfth February 5th in a maiden allowance at 9 furlongs by twelve and a half with an 80. CPU 717 lowest in the field by a mile. At 220\/1, he is in way over his head against Grade I horses. He broke his maiden in his most recent start with a 98 speed rating and it appears he will be heading into deep water this Saturday as the longest choice in the morning line. He needs a little more time to mature and a few more wins under his belt when he heads out this Saturday representing the East-West Connection residency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bred by xmonster4, owned by nwo4life60. Twenty wins from 40 starts, but most of those were in claimers. He was eighth October 3rd in the Toto Cash Turf Stayer at 11 furlongs on good by nineteen and a half with a 96, and eleventh August 29th in the Stockholm Champion Grade III at ten and a half by twelve and a half with a 102. Won a claimer May 9th at 9 furlongs by a head with a 106. CPU 1114, tag $25,000. He is a claimer trying Grade I company, and the last three say he is not there right now. He was claimed back in June of this season and was immediately thrown into some graded starts of which he has not shown potential. He may need some more time in lower level starts. He gets another shot this weekend in a graded start and will need to show up much improved when he heads over to the final gate representing the Down Under Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
