Hand-selected by The TimeformUS team, Horses in Focus stand out on our feature sets, such as pace projector, TimeformUS speed figures, spotlight ratings, trainer ratings, pedigree ratings, etc. Expect to see TimeformUS Horses in Focus on this blog typically every Wednesday-Sunday. If Horses in Focus are available for tracks with a later post-time, they will be added to this post throughout the day.

Race 2: 

Mark Twain (#8)

Dropping out of a much tougher spot.

Ran well enough two back, earning a competitive 90 speed figure after making an early move into a fast pace.

Gets a positive rider switch to Eric Cancel.

8/1 on ML

Race 5: 

Pegasus Red (#5)

Appears to be enough speed to set up his late run.

Was compromised by a slow pace in his only start at this level for Asmussen.

Has been overmatched in his last two starts.
