Race 4: Getmotherarose (#8)

  • Kept very good company last time, as the second and fourth place finishers came back to win, improving their speed figures.
  • Has a versatile running style, which should allow her to work out a good stalking trip.
  • Earned both of her career victories over this course and distance.

7-2 on ML

Race 8: Stanhope (#8)

  • Showed good speed in her debut, only getting run down by Cleon Jones, who returned to finish second in a stakes.
  • Has plenty of turf pedigree on the dam’s side, since the dam is a half-sister to turf graded stakes winner Enterprising.
  • Shug McGaughey’s runners tend to benefit from experience.

5-1 on ML
