Race 6
#9 Apurate
Plus play exacta box w/ #7 All American Dream
#0 Apurate stretches out to a
route, which is a good thing because Todd Pletcher-trained horses don’t even
belong in turf sprints like the race this horse lost last time. Ran well in
turf routes last year as a 2yo and now has two preps under her belt off of an
eight-month layoff.
Play in
exacta box with #7 All American Dream, who makes second career start after a
sprint prep no-try career debut last time out. Bred for a distance and Johnny V
keeps the mount for Graham Motion. Toss out the sprint and try again.
Race 8
#6 Abiding Star
Toss out the
loss last time in an off-the-turf race and give this horse a big chance at a
rebound in the return to the grass with Luis Saez aboard. Owns plenty of speed
and looks like the best of the speed in this race poised to go wire-to-wire,
just like he did three races ago at Saratoga. Owns fast speed figures and
should go wire-to-wire.
