dirt and grass.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His last start was in the Old Man (G2) in which he was able to make it to the front just in time to win by a stride and a speed of 110.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He will be going 2 miles for the first time and is fully capable of handling the extra quarter mile distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His speeds have been very nice lately and are good enough to

of injury.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He was away from the track until mid February where he ran fifth in the New Orleans Stayer (14f) with a speed of 106.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s been in 13 graded races appearing on the board only 3 times, two of which were wins.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This record is far from being outstanding, however, this guy is 7 years old and all three of these finishes occurred during 2010.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He may not be the best in this race, but he is capable of surprising.<\/P>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>5 \u00a0<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN>Coyote Smuggler\u00a0

this includes 5 consecutive graded stake wins.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It can be argued that his biggest and perhaps best race was in November in the Breeders\u2019 Bowl Dirt Marathon where she was 9th<\/SUP> entering the final turn, nearly a dozen lengths off the leader and he rallied hard and strong to win by 2.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Coyote has won 7 graded races thus far and is fully capable of adding his

mid-90\u2019s.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has one career race at 16 furlongs, and that occurred during this stint.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He finished second in the High Five II Special, which isin\u2019t bad, but he finished 5 lengths back and was the overwhelming favorite at 1-2.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I\u2019m not sure what is going on with this horse as he is capable of hitting speeds of 105 up to 109.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He may need a rest but it could also be his age as he has just turned 8. <\/P>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>7\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Jolly DM House\u00a0\u00a0

time since June and he has struggled quite a bit in the higher racing levels, however, has been very competitive in allowance races, where he\u2019s been racing since July.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Speeds have tumbled, being in the mid to upper 90 range since June and this front runner will need to pick it up a bit to show he can still compete at this level.<\/P>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>8.\u00a0

a 101 and a 10.5f with a 106 rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Hard to tell if he disliked the track, the jockey, the distance, the competition was too much or if he just had an off day in that race.\u00a0

early speed, however in\u00a0 <\/SPAN>the Hamburg Hall and the Old Man, (both 14f), he failed to get to the lead in both and pretty much floundered.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>These races just mentioned were his last four starts with very varied results.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>While he seems to excel at 16f, the 14f races aren\u2019t that much different and his form has not been consistent throughout.\u00a0
