Stakes Saturday for Jersey Breds

On this Stakes Saturday we take in a nice race along the Jersey shore. Summer is made for horse racing though sometimes the fields are not as robust.

Monmouth Park Race 9 {Irish War Cry Handicap~1 mile~3 year-old Up~NJ~Stakes}

A reduced field of six as this one comes off the Turf. These reliable lads will go a mile on the main track. Two thirds of the field is composed of speedsters which might benefit the off the pace two. Speed numbers are fairly close making it a competitive event despite the short field. It should be a great race on this last weekend in July.

#8 Golden Brown (P. Lopez / McBurney) should go off as the deserved favorite with the third highest last out speed number and two solid workouts. He does hold the highest speed number at the distance. A son of Offlee Wild, he should be running close to the pace and spring into the stretch in good position. This guy is 58% in the money from twenty-one career starts.

#5 Premdini (Diaz / Carvajal) will challenge coming off a dirt sprint in which scored the highest last out speed number among this field.

A son of Kantharos, he is in great position to take advantage of any hotly contest pace with a strong tracking/closing running style.
