Prg. # PP Horse Jockey Trainer Wt. Claim $ Equip. Med. ML
1 1 Mysterious Peintre (FR) Gomez G K Pletcher Todd A 119 Blk-Off L 8-1

First race blimkers off 27%. Gomez/Pletcher 28%. ITM 60%.

2 2 Senor Enrico Garcia Alan Jolley Leroy 117 L 30-1

Second race off layoff 19%. Currently little slow but could jump forward.

3 3 Mission Approved Coa E M Contessa Gary C 117 L 20-1

Did not race as 2yo. 8th race as a 3yo and is fast enough at nice odds.

4 4 Chaluiwitcane Bejarano R Vargas Nerio 117 L 12-1

Heavily raced and a tad slow. His last 2 were his best and possibility of bounce.

5 5 Pays to Dream Castellano J J Donk David 119 L 8-1

If he pairs his last race he’s right there and maybe a little quicker, Castellano/Donk 19% clip.

6 6 La Neige (GB) Dominguez R A Dutrow, Jr. R E 117 L 8-1

He’s a bit slower and a little inconsistent but first time after trainer change Dutrow at 31%. Dominguez/Dutrow 27% clip. Those are decent numbers and 8-1 not bad.

7 7 Distorted Reality Velazquez J R Pletcher Todd A 121 L 5-2

Very nice horse a little faster, extremely consistent but high weight and a little out. Velazquez/Pletcher 29%.

8 8 Diamond Fever Caraballo J C Matz Michael R 119 L 8-1

Caraballo/Matz hit at 26% clip. At 6 weeks rest should come back with new top but a jump forward gets him even with the rest.

9 9 Ambassador (GER) Velasquez C Callejas Bernardo 117 6-1

Capable horse with Velasquez/Callejas at 25% clip. 10th race of this year and has improved each attempt. Has to take it’s toll at some point. That might be today.

10 10 Blazing Dynamo Desormeaux K J Toner James J 117 L 9-2

Lightly raced and poised to move forward. Pairs up its still fast enough. Jumps forward and it’s clear. Right weight. Desormeaux/Toner 50% clip.

11 11 Giant Chieftan Prado E S Hough Stanley M 117 Blk-On L 20-1

Too slow. Blinkers on and trainer 0% in that category

Watching the tote but like Blazing Dynamo.
