Race 3
#3 Niko’s Dream
Has done her best running so far versus NY breds and got the
maiden win under her belt last time out in her local return after running
competitively down at Gulfstream over the winter. Overcame post 11 to get the
victory last time and draws better today. Will be hoping for a fast pace
because she’ll be the one motoring late.
Race 7
#2 Fortin Hill
Plus
play exacta box w/#4 Endorsed
#2 Fortin
Hill has begun his career 2-for-2 with a pair of big easy wins when favored
both times for trainer Chad Brown, and should make it a perfect three in a row
with another similar effort today. Picked up right where he left off last time
coming back from a long layoff, and should only get better here today in the
second race off the layoff.
Play in exacta
box with #4 Endorsed, who will round out a chalky exacta, but nevertheless one
that looks like it’s worth betting and boxing. Won at first asking last year at
Saratoga and then went right up into the Grade 1 Champagne stakes for trainer
Kiaran McLaughlin. Returns from a long layoff for the 3yo debut, but ran a bug
figure as a 2yo and must be considered dangerous, at last for the exacta boxes.
