Racing Series, as well as our first look at this year&#8217;s juvenile crop, in the second annual running of the Barb&#8217;s Java Again Stakes. \u00a0The race is open to all two year olds, and runs over six and a half furlongs of turf, slated to be firm for the race this Saturday. \u00a0The race carries a $35000 purse, and possibly even more important for these youngsters, those all important stakes points. \u00a0Last year&#8217;s race was won by <b>Impact Of Dreams(JPN)<\/b>, the first of his three career stakes wins. \u00a0This year&#8217;s running draws a field of nine, all but one of which gets their first taste of stakes competition here. \u00a0Odds range from 2\/1 to 21\/1, and their could be some decent money to be made for savvy handicappers.<br \/>(Note:  Sire consistency
