Race 3
#5 Breithorn
Narrowly
missed at this distance here last time in a solid effort, and now finally adds
first-time Lasix at bargain 8-1 odds on the morning line in a five-horse field
that could feature a favored Asmussen first starter. Goes first time out off
the claim by Linda Rice, who does well off claims, and she wastes no time
raising this horse back up vs. maiden special weights. Has been solid when
competing at this level in the past. Looks ready to graduate.

Agreement
Plus play exacta box w/ #6 Mo Me Mo My
#8 Voting
Agreement hasn’t been bad for Chad Brown versus allowance horses, and now takes
a major drop down in class versus non-winners of 2 claimers with Jose Ortiz
getting the mount. Draws a good outside post, has speed figures that stack up
well against these, and the maiden win came here at Saratoga in a turf sprint
last season.
Play in
exacta box with #6 Mo Me Mo My, who has the best chance at an upset, or at
least the best chance to round out the exacta boxes along with the favorite.
Stretched her legs with a no-try effort in an off-the-turf race 5 days ago in
order to keep her turf eligibility for this race for trainer Doug O’Neill, and
was a solid second when last seen in a turf sprint at this trip two races ago.
Legit threat.
