#10 Abrupt
Plus play exacta box w/#7 Mr Everything
#10 Abrupt in
improving sharply in every career outing so far and sitting on the maiden win
now for trainer Bill Mott, with his go-to rider Junior Alvarado aboard. Exits
much tougher maiden turf races at Gulfstream, and looks good down at this
lowest class level ever with expected continued improvement.
Play in
exacta box with #7 Mr Everything, who looked good versus maiden claimers off a
long layoff with a second-place finish last time at Turfway, and now returns to
the grass, which is where he is meant to be for trainer Wesley Ward. Showed
speed in a turf route at Saratoga last summer against an entirely tougher field
in a key race. Now gets another chance and looks good based on the grow-up play
from age 2 to age 3.
Race 7
#10 Time
Limit
Back from a
layoff and with good workouts indicating she is ready to roll. Gets a perfect
outside post draw and owns good early speed. Has mostly run on the dirt, but
the best career speed figure was in her lone lifetime turf sprint effort so
far, which came in last year’s G3 Matron, where she finished second when beaten
only the eventual multiple-stakes winner, Alms.
