Race 10 – Razorback
Handicap
#8 Magic
Tap
Goes out for
leading trainer Steve Asmussen. Showed promise last year as a 3-year-old and
looked better than even last time out when winning an Oaklawn allowance race at
1 1/8 miles in his first race as a 4-year-old. Magic Tap’s Beyer speed figures
are consistently in the mid-90s, which stakes up nicely against this
competition, and he’ll be perfectly spotted from a pace perspective stalking
the leaders close up in a race where there is plenty of speed entered to ensure
a set-up for his stretch rally.
Race 11 –
Rebel Stakes
#7 Timberlake
Plus
exacta box with #1 Carbone
#7
Timberlake won the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes and was fourth in the Breeders’ Cup
Juvenile and now will be making his 3-year-old debut as the standout in the
field.
Play in
exacta box with #1 Carbone, who showed a lot of promise winning the first two
starts of his career by open lengths for trainer Steve Asmussen, including a two-turn
mile race here at Oaklawn two races ago. Carbone flopped in the Southwest
Stakes last time in an effort Asmussen blamed on lost workout and disrupted
training regimen during Oaklawn’s weather-related closing last month. Back on schedule
now and set for a rebound effort.
