Superfecta Sunday in Sweet Home Chicago

 On this Superfecta Sunday we look in on a fine Turf stakes in Chicagoland.

Hawthorne Race Course Race 7 {Hawthorne Derby~1 1/8 mile~TURF~3 year-old~Stakes}

A great group of twelve will hit the grass in this annual contest.

Past Performances used:  Equibase.

There is enough speed in this Derby to produce an efficient pace. Speed figs are very close. Only one entrant has raced over the Hawthorne course. Additionally, only four have gone this distance. Two will be racing over the Turf for the first time. It should be a fantastic race on a great day of racing across the country.

#7 Tough Little Nut (O. Mojica / C. Block) has hit the same speed fig in his last three races and has put in two power workouts. He has hit the board in all three of races over the Hawthorne Turf. This guy will stretch out to the distance. Look for him to track the pace and strike in the stretch. A son of Palace Malice, he is 57% in the money from seven starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#6 T'Challa [GB] (M. Garcia / Drysdale) comes in from Great Britain having hit the board in his last two races. His last race was at a longer TURF route. He should track the pace closely and spring into the stretch. A son of Kingman [GB], he is 66% in the money from six starts.

#12 Baxley (Cohen / Rivelli) will switch surfaces coming in with the third highest last out speed number and one sound workout. He should be part of the speed scenario.
