Another incredible Stakes Saturday. Today we look at two great races. A classic turf contest at Calder Race Course and a route race for two year olds at Hollywood Park.
Calder Race Course Race 11 {W.L. McKnight~G2~1 1/2 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A great field of ten older horses line up for this race. Musketier [GER] (Solis / Attfield) appears to have the edge with the highest (four-way tie) last out speed number, a three race progression, and three robust workouts. Telling (Coa / Hobby) looks ready with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one athletic workout. The magnificent Presious Passion (Trujillo / Hartmann) will lead the pack and should hold on for a piece of the purse with a couple of decent last out speed numbers, a three race progression, and two stamina inducing workouts. Free Fighter (Marquez / Block) is well spotted for this contest with a decent last out speed number, a two race progression, and the best workout tab of the group. Let's play Calder Race Course.
$2 SHOW: #9 Musketier [GER].
$2 SHOW: #1 Telling.
10 CENT Superfecta: #9 Musketier [GER] / #1 Telling / #2 Precious Passion / #10 Free Fighter.
Hollywood Park Race 9 {Cash Call Futurity~G1~1 1/16 mile~2 year old~Stakes}
All eyes will be on this race today as the two year old's season comes to a close. This exceptionally talented field of ten will all be three on January 1st, 2011. Many will be on the Derby trail. JP's Gusto (Talamo / Hofmans) will be the one to beat with the second highest last out speed number and four fierce, peaking workouts. He will be ready. Industry Leader (Bejarano / Mulhall) will challenge in his third start of his career. He will be stepping up to a route with the third highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and three endurance producing workouts. Gourmet Dinner (Madrid / Standridge) is proven at this distance with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two sprinty, peaking workouts. Rustler Hustler (Dominguez / R. Dutrow) will be in the hunt with a decent last out speed number over Turf and four aggressive workouts. Comma To The Top (Nakatani / Miller) will be the speed of the race attempting to hold on for a major piece of the purse pie sharing the third highest last out speed number and three swift workouts. This race promises to be the most exciting of the horse racing weekend. Let's play Hollywood Park.
