Aqueduct Horses in Focus for Saturday, January 21
Posted on January 20, 2023 by David Aragona

RACE 5: MY FRIENDS BEER (#6)

Optic Way (#8) looks like a deserving favorite at first glance, as he’s coming off the best speed figure that he’s achieved in a while and has been claimed by a barn that has great stats using this move. Yet it’s a little strange that this horse hasn’t run back for two months, and Jose Camejo doesn’t appear to be as dangerous recently as when he first appeared on this circuit. Overall, he’s just 2 for 12 (13%, $0.96 ROI) first off the claim at NYRA. I’m a bit skeptical that this horse can run back to that last performance and there are plenty of other options to consider. Cool Quartet (#3) is another runner who goes out for a dangerous trainer, as he makes his second start off the switch to Rob Atras. He did face a much better field last time, but I don’t love his prior form at Finger Lakes and feel he would need to improve to beat this group. Dark Storm (#5) interests me more. He’s another coming off a brief layoff, but he was in solid form when last seen. He did well to wear down favorite Its All Relevant two back and then ran a good second at this level last time when mildly impeded by his entrymate through the lane. Something has obviously kept him off the track recently, but he returns with no drop, and gets Turkey’s champion jockey aboard. My top pick is My Friends Beer (#6). Perhaps the unfamiliar connections will scare some players away, but I really liked his effort last time. He made a game run through traffic, altering course in the stretch to take a good shot at the superior winner Winter Pool. That result may look like an outlier, but he had excuses prior to that. He’s never been too fond of wet tracks, so I don’t want to hold his two sloppy performances at Parx against him, and he was going the wrong distance back in November. This horse has plenty of back class and appears to be rounding back into top form. He closed from far back last time but does possess a bit more tactical speed than that.

RACE 6: LOST IN ROME (#3)

I have mixed feelings about O’Trouble (#2), who could go favored here as he makes his first start off the claim for David Jacobson. The Jacobson horses have been performing better in recent weeks, and this horse is a neck shy of having won his last three starts. He beat a weaker field last time, but was much the best that day as Jose Gomez nearly botched the ride, getting him in trouble early before finding a clear path along the inside. He has the speed figures to win at this level, but his best performances have generally come against cheaper foes. Quick Return (#1) and Durkin’s Call (#6) both competed in a $25k claiming race back in early December, where they filled out the trifecta behind Jemography. Durkin’s Call ran the slightly better race that day and came back with a deceptively game performance against a much tougher field last time going a mile. I think he’s a threat if the pace comes apart, but he’s never been the most reliable win candidate. I’m going for a bigger price with Lost in Rome (#3). This horse has really woken up since getting claimed for just $10k by trainer William Younghans. He was game to get the job done in November, and then showed a new dimension, rallying from off the pace to win that starter allowance over O’Trouble two back. I won’t hold his last against him, since that was a very ambitious spot. He’s now dropping back down to a more realistic class level and I don’t mind him turning back in distance with so much pace signed on. Heman Harkie has ridden him well, and the price should be fair.

RACE 8: FLIGHT TO SHANGHAI (#4)

I certainly respect Betsy Blue (#5), who has been one of the most consistent racehorses on the NYRA circuit for the past two years. She’s steadily improved for Linda Rice and really seems to have taken her game to a new level since last summer at Saratoga. She didn’t get the right trip in the Iroquois two back when she registered a rare off the board finish, but she bounced back with a better effort in the Go For Wand. Turned back to her preferred sprint distance in the Garland of Roses, she delivered a strong stretch rally to run past the talented Beguine in the late stages. A similar performance makes her tough to beat, but she’s also going to be a very short price now that her best form has once again been exposed. It’s also unclear if she’s going to get the same pace setup that she enjoyed last time, as the horses who you would expect to be forwardly placed aren’t exactly that fast. Miss T Too (#2) is perhaps the quickest of them all early, but it’s been a little while since she’s been sent to the front and she doesn’t have the most aggressive rider on her back. She had some real sprint talent early in her career, but a series of setbacks have derailed her. I considered putting her on top, but I found another who may offer better value. Flight to Shanghai (#4) obviously doesn’t sport as strong a resume as some others in here, but I thought she took a subtle but significant step forward off the claim for Horacio De Paz last time. Sent off at 72-1 in that Go For Wand, she applied serious pressure to the impressive winner Dr B in the early stages and was still in the mix at the quarter pole before fading. While she hasn’t run as fast as Betsy Blue, she earned a strong 110 TimeformUS Speed Figure for that last performance. Furthermore, Horacio De Paz is 7 for 17 (41%, $3.74 ROI) second off the claim on dirt over the past 5 years. And at NYRA tracks, he’s 5 for 9 (56%, $6.08 ROI) with 3 seconds. I expect her to get an aggressive ride from Jorge Vargas and the slight turnback to 7 furlongs should suit her. I believe she’s the biggest threat to Betsy Blue and the price should be fair.

The Jury: Bets and fades for Jan. 21
TwinSpires Staff

This weekend's action is highlighted by the "Road to the Derby Day" program at Fair Grounds, featuring the Lecomte (G3). James Scully, Vance Hanson, and Ashley Anderson have their say on that card and others in this week's TwinSpires Jury discussion.
What is your best bet?

James Scully: #4 Spartan Queen (6-1) in the sixth race at Fair Grounds Saturday. In her Dec. 31 career debut, the Medaglia d’Oro filly raced in spots and traveled wide before finishing with good energy to be a clear second to Amber Cascade, who will contest the Silverbulletday later on the program. Spartan Queen netted solid Brisnet numbers in the 1 1/16-mile race and appears to be training forwardly since, recording a quick five-furlong drill for Michelle Lovell, and I expect her to move forward with a strong showing in her second outing.

Vance Hanson: Saturday's third race at Fair Grounds, a maiden event for three-year-olds going 1 1/16 miles, looks like a good spot for second-time starter #8 Mo Hope (5-1). The son of the long-winded Mo Town was doing his best running at the end of his six-furlong debut and, while though no threat to the winner, he finished a clear and promising second. The Paul McGee trainee appears as if he'll relish the additional ground here and should show natural improvement with that initial experience behind him.

Ashley Anderson: #4 Paco’s Pico (4-1) in Gulfstream’s ninth race on Saturday, a six-furlong allowance optional claimer for four-year-olds. The Candy Ride gelding finished first or second in his last four at today’s distance, most recently winning by 1 3/4 lengths in a six-furlong allowance optional claimer while posting a 99 Brisnet Speed rating, the highest speed figure at today’s distance among the field. He followed up that win by stretching out to seven furlongs at Gulfstream but was bumped at the start and ultimately evened out inside the final furlong for show. He can bounce back with the cutback to six furlongs, a distance from which he owns a 5-2-2-1 record.

Who is the horse to fade?

JS: #4 Hypersport (7-5) in the fourth race at Oaklawn Park Saturday. The four-year-old filly has not been a serious threat, finishing second in three of her last four outings, recording four seconds and a third from nine career outings, and the early/presser had everything her own way in the lone win. Hypersport has a dangerous speed rival to her inside and looks vulnerable at short odds.

VH: #2 Manny Wah (9-5) is the early choice in the Duncan F. Kenner S. at Fair Grounds, a race he won two years ago. But even with the relative modesty of the competition, he's been too inconsistent a visitor to the winner's circle for my taste to like at such a short price. However, this stand is dependent on the race staying on the turf, as scheduled. If it's rained off, Manny Wah figures to be no better than third choice if the also-eligibles Surveillance and Bango happen to draw in.

AA: #2 Charlie’s Penny (3-1) opened as a slight morning line favorite in the Marie G. Krantz Memorial S., Race 5 on Fair Grounds’ Saturday card, but the five-year-old has raced just once on turf, finishing second when sprinting 5 1/2 furlongs. The Race Day mare joined the barn of Chris Block late last year and has since run twice on dirt at seven furlongs and a mile and 70 yards, winning the former by 1 1/2 lengths and coming home third by 2 1/2 lengths when stretching out to a route. Block is just a 10% winner with horses transitioning from dirt to turf, and Charlie’s Penny has never raced as far as 1 1/16 miles. I’ll instead back #3 Lake Lucerne (7-2), who failed as the favorite last out when running near today’s distance at this track, finishing three-quarters of a length in third with a belated rally. The Dubawi mare can rebound here for Brendan Walsh, a 24% winner with beaten favorites.

What else is worth noting?

JS: The undercard of the Lecomte (G3) at Fair Grounds always features productive maiden special weight races, and six maiden events for open three-year-olds will be offered Saturday. In the second race, #4 Evergrande, a $1.1 million filly by Uncle Mo, will make her career debut for Steve Asmussen with a recent half-mile bullet workout in tow. #4 L J’s Emma, an Into Mischief filly who appears to be training forwardly for Eddie Kenneally, is listed as the 3-1 choice and will race with Luis Saez in the fourth race. In the seventh race, Asmussen will be represented by #5 City Nights and #3 First Defender, a pair of well-bred colts who figure to attract support in their first career outing. And in the 10th race, the Hall of Fame trainer will send out firster #6 Kauai Dan, a Stonestreet Stables homebred Quality Road colt who is out of multiple Grade 2-winning juvenile Kauai Katie.

VH: I'm typically not a big follower or believer in most morning lines, though I find it interesting that #4 L J's Emma (3-1) was made the lukewarm early choice for Fair Grounds' fourth race, a six-furlong maiden for three-year-old fillies, especially since trainers Brad Cox and Steve Asmussen also have first-time starters in the field. Nonetheless, L J's Emma might be a filly to keep an eye on. Not only is she by leading sire Into Mischief, she turned in a flattering five-furlong breeze on Dec. 29 (a bullet in :59.20) and hails from a barn (Eddie Kenneally) that has struck consistently from limited starters this meet (3 for its first 8). Luis Saez will be aboard, too.

AA: Kentucky Derby hopeful Instant Coffee and stablemate Tapit’s Conquest may be a primary focus at Fair Grounds on Saturday in the Lecomte, but trainer Brad Cox has a handful of other horses to watch earlier in the day who may come into play on the Derby and Kentucky Oaks trails. In Race 9 on Saturday’s Fair Grounds card, Tapit Shoes, a Tapit son by a Flower Alley mare, will race in a 1 1/16-mile allowance optional claimer, into which Tapit’s Conquest has been cross-entered. In Pool 3 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager (KDFW) (offered from noon ET on Friday until Sunday at 6 p.m.), Tapit Shoes was revealed as a 50-1 choice in the pool, while Tapit’s Conquest was listed at 99-1. Banishing (a 40-1 choice from the barn of Brendan Walsh) will also compete in Race 9. As for Kentucky Oaks candidates, Cox will race 8-5 morning line favorite Chop Chop in the Silverbulletday — which will award Oaks qualifying points — but has another hopeful in The Alys Look, second in her stakes debut in the Untapable at Fair Grounds on Dec. 26. Chop Chop will drop in class after finishing last as the favorite in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) and is likely set for a big race, but if The Alys Look manages to play spoiler here, she’ll be one to track on the road to the Oaks.

Great Britain Preview: Spot Plays Jan. 21, 2023
Alastair Bull

Cold weather in Britain means one of the main jumps meets of the weekend at Ascot, featuring the Clarence House Chase (G1) and Mares’ Hurdle (G2), has been abandoned. For now the Haydock meet, which features four Grade 2 events, is still on, though things aren’t looking great there either.

Given these doubts, the best meet for fans of U.K. racing to bet on this weekend may be the Lingfield Polytrack card. Eight races are scheduled, the most notable of which are a 105-rating handicap for fillies and mares and a 95-rating sprint handicap.

2023 Silverbulletday Stakes Cheatsheet
By TwinSpires Editorial Team, Sponsored Content
January 20, 2023

By Vance Hanson

1. NORAH G (8-1) – Hot barn has a nice filly on their hands here, though there’s a big difference between what she’s been facing in the state-bred ranks and this open company spot; needed almost 1:15 to negotiate 6f in the Louisiana Futurity last time over a slow-playing track, and even there she wasn’t exactly as dominant as bettors thought she would be at odds of 3-10; class hike and inexperience around two turns appear significant hurdles.

2. COTTON CANDY ANNIE (20-1) – The most experienced member of the field with eight starts behind her, and thus the most exposed; spent much of her time in the maiden ranks facing lesser in auction restricted events before graduating for a $50K tag, and though she subsequently took advantage of a weak allowance group in the slop, her no-show in the Untapable S. probably sums up her relative talents; looking elsewhere.

3. HAYUNEVANO (8-1) – After poking her head in front after six furlongs in the Untapable, she readily gave way through the stretch and finished a well-beaten fourth in a strung out field; although not a huge step down from her wide-margin maiden win, it does raise doubts whether she is classy enough to turn in a more competitive effort; on the plus side, she’s had much more time in between starts; she barely had more than two weeks going into the Untapable, but has had nearly four in the interim.

4. THE ALYS LOOK (3-1) – After a couple modest tries in Kentucky last fall, she’s upped her game since arriving in New Orleans; pummeled maiden foes in her first attempt here Dec. 1 and then came back 3 1/2 weeks later to finish a creditable and clear second to Pretty Mischievous in the Untapable; that race wasn’t overly quick, figure-wise, but it does mark her as perhaps the main threat to stablemate Chop Chop.

5. CHOP CHOP (8-5) – Despite her no-show in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1), she’s the filly to beat here; although both prior wins were on turf, she gave presumptive champion Wonder Where a big scare in the final strides of the Alcibiades (G1) two back, evidence she can handle dirt just as well as turf; Cox reportedly satisfied with her preparation for this and is going forward as if latest was an aberration; we’ll find out, but backers should expect significantly less than 8-5.

6. AMBER CASCADE (6-1) – Won the first division of a Dec. 31 maiden by nearly four lengths (returning rival Forest Chimes won the other even more convincingly); it was her first start around two turns and with Lasix, both of which might have helped, but she won’t have the benefit of the latter here; the downside is that it was her third start, and she had previously fallen short facing $50,000 maiden claimers; prefer others.

7. FOREST CHIMES (4-1) – Her debut on New Year’s eve at Fair Grounds couldn’t have gone any better; cold on the board at 13-1, she won off as if she were an odds-on favorite, crossing the wire 7 1/2 lengths clear of nine rivals; this is obviously a significant step up in class and a relatively short three-week turnaround, but this daughter of Tonalist seemingly has a lot of potential left to be tapped; consider.

Handicapper's Corner: 2023 Lecomte Stakes (G3)
2023 Lecomte Stakes Analysis
By: Rowan Ward, Blinkers-Off

The Lecomte Stakes (G3) on Saturday is the second of four 2023 Kentucky Derby points races at Fair Grounds. The series started with the Gun Runner on December 26 and continues with the Risen Star (G2) and the Louisiana Derby (G2).

The race takes its name from Lecomte: an equine star of the 1850s, a half-sister to Saratoga stakes namesake Prioress, and the only horse to defeat the great Lexington. Though Lecomte was bred in Kentucky, he went to Louisiana as a yearling. He was named after his owner’s friend Ambrose Lecomte, a Louisiana landowner, and later gave a misspelled version of his name to the town of Lecompte, Louisiana.

The 2023 Lecomte Stakes drew a field of 8, competing for a $200,000 purse and Road to the Kentucky Derby points. Unlike in previous years, when only the top four finishers received points, this year the top five do. They will be allotted 20-8-6-4-2, assuming the horses are running without Lasix and are conditioned by Derby-eligible trainers. In this case, all eight horses are points eligible.

Though no Lecomte Stakes winner has yet gone on to win the Kentucky Derby, seven have won the Louisiana Derby, most recently International Star (2015). The race has been a particularly live Preakness prep in recent years; in the last ten years, two of its winners have gone on to win Baltimore’s most important race: Oxbow (2013) and War of Will (2019). Last year’s winner, Epicenter, went on to finish second in both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. He won the Travers (G1) and is a finalist for Champion Three-Year-Old Male honors.

Saturday, January 21 - Fair Grounds

Race 14: Lecomte Stakes (G3), three-year-olds, one and one sixteenth miles on the dirt, post time 6:30pm CST

With rain in the forecast for Saturday, there is a good chance Two Phil’s can run right back to his smart victory in the Street Sense (G3) on October 30. His trainer Larry Rivelli is strong with layoff horses, and Two Phil’s himself routed the field in the Shakopee Juvenile off a two-month break last year. And that win came on a dry track, meaning this horse has some promise even if the rain does not fall. Two Phil’s has tactical speed from the outside, giving him a chance for a nice stalking trip, and his rider Jareth Loveberry is not only this horse’s regular rider (and Rivelli’s first call), but is winning prodigiously at the Far Grounds meet.

Instant Coffee is the likely favorite. He comes in from a victory in the Kentucky Jockey Club: interestingly enough, though four of the last ten Lecomte winners raced in the Kentucky Jockey Club, none of those recent Lecomte winners have finished better than third in that race. Still, it is a testament to how good that race is as a prep for the Lecomte, since it shows horses are ready to go two turns against classy company. Though there is a chance that the Lecomte pace will not be extremely fast, since other speed horses would have to step up to match Echo Again, Instant Coffee did prove in the Kentucky Jockey Club that he could finish smartly into a pace that was not particularly fast. Between that and the fact that trainer Brad Cox is winning at a 45% clip going into this race week, Instant Coffee should produce a good effort.

Though Echo Again hasn’t yet run back to his dazzling debut at Saratoga, and still has to answer the question of whether he can be effective at two turns, there are reasons this could be the spot he wakes up over that longer trip. In short, he looks like the speed of the speed. Early pace has been holding well at the Fair Grounds, and though there are some others in the field who have shown enough pace to be close, Echo Again is fast enough to make the lead and get clear unless one of the others finds a lot more early pace. Given that he comes into this second off the lay and his pedigree does bode well for two turns on both sides, he may just open up early and forget to stop for high-percentage trainer Steve Asmussen.

Selections:

#8 Two Phil’s (4-1)

#7 Instant Coffee (5-2)

#1 Echo Again (6-1)

Longshot: With rain in the forecast for Saturday, #2 Denington (8-1) has a good chance to step up. His maiden win came three starts back over a sloppy dirt track.

He does have tables to turn on Instant Coffee from the Kentucky Jockey Club two back, but he was beaten only 1

Keeneland Select Derby Prep Hotlist - Lecomte Stakes - January 21

Jan. 20, 2023

By Bob Ehalt and Matt Shifman
The $200,000 Lecomte Stakes, Fair Grounds, Race 14
(7) Instant Coffee was a solid winner of the Kentucky Jockey Club while rallying wide. He has a late-running style that bodes well for his chances in a field that boasts several rivals with keen early speed. He’s trained by Brad Cox, who has done a great job of turning out Triple Crown-caliber runners the last few friends, and deserves top billing here. (1) Echo Again also hails from a top barn and figures to be part of the early pace after finishing third in the Springboard Mile. Drawing the rail figures to help this Steve Asmussen-trained 3-year-old who could go gate-to-wire here. (2) Denington was hurt by a wide trip when third in the Smarty Jones. Adds blinkers here and should be helped by the added distance. (8) Two Phil’s was an easy winner of the Street Sense Stakes, but that was in the slop. If he can avoid a wide trip from the outside post, he has the potential to be a main contender. Betting strategy: 7 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-7-8. Trifecta box: 1-2-7-8.

Gulfstream Park Hotlist - January 21

Jan. 20, 2023

By Bob Ehalt and Matt Shifman
Hot List Key:
A : A preferred horse to watch B: Secondary horse to watch
*C: Went down 2 or more betting notches in the final 3 minutes and finished 1st through 3rd
*D: Went down 2 or more betting notches and finished 4^th or worse
* - 4 or more betting notches if 11-1 or more.
1st race – (6) Country Jewel (B)had a rough trip last time while racing wide. Deserves a second chance here while adding blinkers and dropping in class. (10) Never Been Wrong could be a factor in her belated career debut. (1) Ave Fenix might respond to the switch to turf. (12) Ria Formosa may pose a threat in the final furlong. Betting strategy: 6 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-6-10-12.
3rd race – (5) Scramble was no worse than third in his three career starts and seems poised to post a maiden win. (1) Battlefield Park may perk up on turf. (4) Santorini lost by a neck on synthetics and should be able to handle turf. (8) Jeby rallied for second in his first try on turf and should not be ignored. Betting strategy: 5 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-4-5-8.
5th race – (5) She’s Mo Bubbly was an $825K purchase who finally makes her debut for Pletcher. Gets top billing here. (3) Sweet Curalina was third in her debut and can move forward in this spot. (1) Inviting should benefit from a rail trip. (6) Reaching Stride might perk up on dirt. Betting strategy: 5 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-3-5-6.
7th race – (9) El Socio (D) took a big drop from 7-1 to 7-2 then tired in the stretch. Might rebound with a class drop. (2) Ghostinyou faces weaker company and shapes up as the one to fear. (3) Royal Kitten could be a factor off the Walder claim. (8) Eyes of a Champion may be tough to catch in this spot. Betting strategy: 9 to win, place. Exacta box: 2-3-8-9.
9th race – (4) Paco’s Pico has been no worse than third in his last seven starts and seems best in this field. (7) Absolute Grit switches to Irad and should be the main competition. (3) Candy Man Rocket has been away for nearly a year but is training nicely for his comeback. (2) Living Water will be dangerous if he can duplicate his last effort. Betting strategy: 4 to win, place. Exacta box: 4-7. Exactas 4-7 over 2-3 and 2-3 over 4-7.

No.		Letter/Last race	Today’s race	Comment
(6)	Country Jewel	B, 1/4	1 GP	Comes off a rough trip last time
(9)	El Socio	D, 1/4	7 GP	Might wake up in this field

Aqueduct Hotlist - January 21

Jan. 20, 2023

By Matt Shifman and Bob Ehalt
Hot List Key:
A: A preferred horse to watch B: Secondary horse to watch
*C: Went down 2 or more betting notches and finished 1st through 3rd
*D: Went down 2 or more betting notches and finished 4^th or worst
* - 4 or more betting notches if 11-1 or more.
4^th race [Clm 16000 N2L, 6F] – (5) America’s Pride was claimed for $50,000 from Brad Cox after a debut victory at Churchill Downs. She made one start at Saratoga and was then moved to the barn of Tom Morley. In this field, she is projected to be on the lead. (1) Afleet Arlene was claimed for $30,000 at Churchill in November by Linda Rice who drops her down to a winning level. (2) Darn That Song drops down in class and returns to the N2L condition where she was competitive in the only other time she raced at this level. (6) Sheza Rajun Cajun will need to use her early speed to be a contender.
7^th race [NY, OC 45K/N2X, 7F] – (4) Who Hoo Thats Me has the blinkers come off after trying them last start for this colt that has top three finishes in 9 out of 12 races. (7) Excellent Timing is projected to get loose on the lead at a good distance at Aqueduct where he recorded both of his wins. (5) Big Engine will move back to NY-bred company by running for the $45,000 tag. Last seen he was a winner at this level. (1) Listentoyourheart moves to the barn of Ray Handal following an August layoff. He is a past NY-bred stakes winner.
8^th race [Interborough, 7F] – (5) Betsy Blue won the Garland of Roses at the Big A last time when she rallied from last. In her career she has seven wins at Aqueduct and three of them were at seven furlongs. Her last two speed figures tower over this field. (3) Piece of My Heart was first or second in her last four starts in top allowance races at Aqueduct. Two weeks ago she was a winner on a sloppy track after a stalking trip. (2) Miss T Too ships up to New York from Kentucky for Michael McCarthy after a pair of third-place finishes in allowance races. She is projected to be on the lead in this small field. (4) Flight to Shanghai was claimed two races back by Horacio De Paz and tried the Go For Wand (G3) in her first start for the new trainer. Expect another improvement this time out.
9^th race [Md Sp Wt, 1 mi] – (9) Fast Boat to Skye (B) had a bad break in his second start on a sloppy track and rallied to get the place spot. (5) Wave Action (C) was away slowly in his debut and had to come from far behind to finish third after getting bet down from 8-1 to 6-1. (1) Slip Mahoney set the pace in his second career start on a sloppy track at Aqueduct and battled down the stretch to miss the win by a neck. (7) Crupi got some time off after his best finish in November when he was second going nine furlongs. This is clearly the easiest field that he has faced.
Best bets: Who Hoo Thats Me (7^th); Betsy Blue (8^th). Best value: America’s Pride (4^th); Fast Boat to Skye (9^th).

Keeneland Select Pick of the Day | January 21, 2023

Jan. 20, 2023

Race 13 at Fair Grounds | Saturday January 21 | Post Time 7 PM Eastern
Louisiana Stakes – Grade 3 | Purse $150,000 | One Mile and One Sixteenth | Four Year Old and Upward
Top contenders:
Intrepid Heart (3) had a fantastic 2022 campaign but you couldn’t really tell it by looking at his 1-7-0 record in nine races. Four were stakes races and his best efforts of the summer came in those when beaten a half-length in the Claiming Crown Jewel Stakes (106 Equibase Speed Figure) and beaten a nose in a third level allowance race (106 figure). He lost all chance in the Tenacious Stakes last month in which three others in here ran, with a very awkward start that saw Intrepid Heart break last of 11 and really have no chance thereafter. Also, and perhaps more importantly, he had taken blinkers off for that race but had won them for a long time prior to that, particularly last January through March when he ran three “A” races in a row at Fair Grounds including a four length win and nose defeat. Those were actually his best efforts of the year because he earned 110 and 11 figures which would win here if repeated. With Saez getting on I think that’s entirely possible so opening at 8 to 1 Intrepid Heart gets top billing.

Forza Di Oro (7) was one of those which ran in the Tenacious Stakes over the track last month, finishing third after moving up to lead mid-race then tiring. That occurred because he had been off for four months, but now making his second start off a layoff, and with a very strong five furlong workout coming into the race, Forza Di Oro has a big shot to run back to his best efforts which were three straight wins including the Grade 3 Discovery Stakes.

Zozos (8) won the first two starts of his career last January and February, a sprint here at Fair Grounds then a two-turn race at Oaklawn. He finished a fine second to Epicenter in the Louisiana Derby after that but only managed 10th in the Kentucky Derby. Rested a full seven months, Zozos returned last month and won his comeback around two turns with no prep first and is set to improve off that effort.

Win bets:
Intrepid Heart (3) to win at odds of 5 to 2 or more.
Forza Di Oro and Zozos, both trained by Brad Cox, could be considered for win bets at 3 to 1 or more but that appears unlikely.

Exactas:
Box Intrepid Heart (3), Forza Di Oro (7) and Zozos (8)

Intrepid Heart (3), Forza Di Oro (7) and Zozos (8) over Intrepid Heart (3), Forza Di Oro (7), Zozos (8), Run Classic (2), Happy American (5) and Mr. Wireless (9)
