Arlington Park – 6th race – 2-Kitten Silver (7/2) Tipped his hand in his debut with an excellent runner-up performance, lagging to the head of the lane, taking hold, and then finishing strongest of all inside while needing just a bit more ground.  With that effort behind him, the Stidham-trained son of Kitten’s Joy should […]

Ellis Park – 6th race – 9-Ever Special (5-1) Makes her debut in a moderate maiden special weight mile affair scheduled for turf and looks well-placed for a major effort.  The Brad Cox barn has exceptional stats with first-time starters and this daughter of Archarcharch should be ready to fire after a string of strong, […]

Ellis Park – 5th race – 2-Colonel Swinson (8-1) Featured in our East Coast “Black Book” a couple of weeks ago, this juvenile son of Colonel John should move forward considerably in his second career start and is worth a gamble despite being raised from maiden $50,000 claiming to maiden special weight company.  In his […]

Delaware Park – 7th race – 6-Private Client (7/2) Has finished second in both of her career outings to next-out winners and seems more than ready to graduate today in this maiden turf two-turner for fillies and mares.  Can really turn it on late and with any kind of racing luck this Proctor-trained daughter of […]

Woodbine – 6th race – 1-Conquest Enforcer (2-1) Earned a triple-digit Beyer figure when winning the restricted Queenston Stakes in his sophomore debut in May, making the pace and winning in hand by almost eight lengths.  That performance came over the all-weather surface but this son of Into Mischief showed he could handle grass just as […]

Churchill Downs – 7th race – 8-Recruiting Ready (4-1) Juvenile colt from the first crop of unbeaten Algorithms demolished a maiden field at Pimlico in his debut in late May, opening up quickly in hand and then coasting to the wire while more than 10 lengths clear of his out-classed foes.  Quick, athletic, and extremely […]

Belmont Park – 8th race – 3-Paige (4-1) Should produce a forward move in this second-level allowance turf affair for fillies and mares after earning a career top figure in her comeback.  Likes to settle and produce a late kick and should have every chance with Ortiz riding her back for Clement (23% with second-off-layoff runners). […]

Churchill Downs – 3rd race – 2-Bitumen (4-1) First-time starter from the Eddie Kenneally barn appears fit and ready following a string of strong workouts for this maiden juvenile six furlong sprint, and is worth a gamble at anything close to his 4-1 morning line.  Long-striding, athletic colt was impressive breezing a quarter pole in […]

Churchill Downs – 9th race – 3-Pyjama Party-Ire (9/2) Tipped his hand with an excellent U.S. debut at Keeneland in late April, overcoming a rugged start to rally willingly and finish fourth, beaten just over a length, in a strong second-level allowance event on turf.  The son of Rip Van Winkle shows a healthy, steady […]

Woodbine – 5th race – 6-Rock the Beat-Ire (10-1) Was given an educational run in her debut and should be set today for a much more serious run in this seven furlong maiden special weight turf event.  A $500,000 yearling by Fastnet Rock, this Mark Casse-trained sophomore closed well but much too late in a […]

Belmont Park – 8th – 9-Take These Chains-Ire (2-1) Graduated at first asking like a future star for Chad Brown, settling far off a slow pace to the head of the lane and then exploding with an eye-opening turn of foot too take control close home.  Gets an extra half-furlong to work with today and should thoroughly enjoy the […]

Churchill Downs – 2nd race – 7-Impressive Edge (5/2) Could not have been more impressive than he was breezing a furlong in 9 4/5 seconds at the OBS March Sale and makes his debut today for trainer Steve Asmussen against a maiden juvenile field he simply should be too quick for.  The son of Harlan’s Holiday […]

Churchill Downs – 6th race – 9-Seeking Blame (5-1) Wound up a distant third in his racing debut last month but showed plenty of promise in doing so and can be expected to produce a significant forward move while stretching out to two-turns.  Sophomore son of Blame finished with good interest and galloped out strongly […]
