Sunland Park Race 9 {Mine That Bird Derby~1 1/16 mile~3 year-old~Stakes}
A solid field of nine will go to the gate in this stakes race named after Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird. There is enough speed to insure a swift pace. Speed numbers are fairly close for these continuously improving young horses. Our task is to string together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#1 Reride (A. Juarez / Asmussen) might have the edge with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and four strong peaking workouts. He could be forwardly placed for a maximum effort. A son of Candy Ride [ARG], he is a Triple Crown nominee. He is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.
#4 Runaway Ghost (Hebert / Fincher) could go off as the favorite with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two hearty workouts. He is the only other runner that has already competed at this distance. A son of Ghostzapper, he could wire this field.
#2 Beautiful Game (E. Gomez / Asmussen) should contend with the fourth highest last out speed number and a six race progression. This guy will be stretching out to this distance after running a mile over the Sunland Park track. A son of Even the Score, he should be tracking the pace closely.
#3 Sphene (Chirinos / M. Hernandez) should make a further improvement after winning at first asking in his only career start. With an expected hot pace, he should use his tracking capability to great advantage. A son of Bodemeister, he is also Triple Crown nominated.
10 CENT Superfecta Box
#1 Reride + #4 Runaway Ghost + #2 Beautiful Game + #3 Sphene.
