#4 Allured

play exacta box w/#5 Big Muddy
#3 Allured returned from a nine-month layoff looking like a
new and improved horse for trainer Chad Brown, finishing just a nose behind his
barnmate Business Cycle but with far more upside. Ready to take a step forward
again here in the second race off the layoff with good workouts since last
races indicating continued fitness.
Play
in exacta box with #5 Big Muddy,
who goes third-time out for trainer Todd Pletcher and finally seems to be
finding the right distance here at one mile after going too short in the career
debut and then too long at 1 1/8 miles around two turns at Saratoga last time.
Ran a solid third and is ready for a career-best outing today.
Race 7
#5 Mango M
Toss out the
loss last time out when the saddle slipped and he was unable to be properly
ridden. Before that this horse had looked good in the maiden win, which came in
his first ever turf route. Also had a troubled trip and a bad start two races
ago when beaten by some of these same rivals, but now appears ready to get
revenge with a better trip.
