3 Patriot’s Voyage – Speedy sort has really developed off a 9-month hiatus; cost $625K at auction, is meant to be something.

Race 4 – 7 furlongs, Purse $21,000, Claiming $16,000, 3-year-olds and up

8 What a Rush – Second start off the claim by Mike Mitchell; parking lot draw is perfect in this elongated sprint.

8 Oskar Hval – Sliding down the claiming ladder to this lower class; has a ton of back class to run back too.

Long Shot – 4 Demonsterous

Best Bet – 8 Nereid (race 9)
