Remembering those who have died in service to our country.
Today we take a look at a neat classic distance Turf race over the Maryland sod.
Pimlico Race 6 {1 1/2 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~Allowance}
A good group of eight will hit the Turf in this allowance feature. It comes up a little short on speed, hence strategy and tactics will get one of these lads to the winners circle. Speed numbers are fairly close. Only two have gone this distance, #2 Tap the Moment and #5 Real Factor; both hitting the board. It should be a fantastic race on this Memorial Day.
#2 Tap the Moment (Boyce / Bosley) might have the edge with the highest last out speed number, winning at this very distance. This guy enjoys the Turf. A son of Tapizar, he will be part of the tracking group ready to battle through the stretch.
$1 WIN.
#6 Lemon Zip (Connor / Saiville) should pose a good challenge with the second highest last out speed number and three superb peaking workouts. He comes up from Tampa seeking to engage this Mid-Atlantic Turf crew. A son of Ghostzapper, he is another that will put his tracking capabilities to the test.
$2 SHOW.
#5 Real Factor (McCarthy / C. Lynch) should contend having gone this distance and securing the second highest speed number at same. He has put in two hearty workouts prepping for this race. A son of The Factor, he might lead them through the fractions.
#4 Broad Expanse (Karamanos / Worton) will be in the mix with a couple of o.k. last out speed numbers and one solid workout. He should improve going this longer distance. A son of Curlin, he should track and close handsomely.
10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)
#2 Tap the Moment + #6 Lemon Zip + #5 Real Factor + #4 Broad Expanse.

Sunray Park Race 10 {Dine Stakes~6 1/2 Furlongs~3 year-old~NM~Stakes}
An interesting field of seven geldings will hit the Farmington, New Mexico dirt. All but one of these fellas are coming up from Sunland Park near Las Crucesm NM. There is speed which should churn up the pace. Speed figures are fairly close making for a competitive event. Our task is to tie down a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#5 My Boanerges (J. Melancon / W. Martin) has the opportunity to wire this field with the highest last out speed number and one potent bullet workout. This guy is 100% in the money from four career starts. A son of Diabolical, he has notched three wins and has progressed his speed figs with every start.
#6 Sunscreen (A. Juarez / Lambert) will challenge with the second highest last out speed number at a route and two robust workouts. This lad is 100% in the money from ten career starts. He could go off as the even money favorite. A son of Southwestern Heat, he could take his fellow geldings to task with his tracking capability.
#7 No Pasa Nada (Hebert / Buechler) is the only one that has chalked a win over the Sunray track winning last out by six lengths and achieving the fourth highest last out speed number. Since that start he has put in a quality workout. A son of Atilla's Storm, he should be forwardly placed ready to strike. He is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.
#2 Quite Peace (I. Enriquez / Marr) should contend with the third highest last out speed number at a route and three sensational workouts. Coming off a brief layoff, he should be ready to improve once again. A son of Abstraction, he should track the pace and rush into the stretch.
