Stakes Saturday at Turfway

Another Kentucky Derby prep race on a glorious Stakes Saturday. Off to Kentucky to take in a fascinating race on the synthetic.

Turfway Park Race 11 {Horsehoe Casino Cincinnati Spiral~G3~1 1/8 mile~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}
A great crop of eleven will cantor to the gate in this featured Graded Stakes race. There is enough speed in here to keep a sound pace on this speed favoring track. The speed numbers are all relatively comparable. There are 50 KD points at stake for the winner thereby putting him in the mix for the twenty gate positions in this year's Kentucky Derby. It should be a great race.

#9 Conquest Typhoon (Smith / Casse) might have a slight edge with the third highest (tie) last out speed number, a four race progression, and three stellar workouts. This son of Stormy Atlantic has a versatile running style that can handle whatever pace develops. He ships in off a third place finish in the El Camino Real over the Tapeta surface at Golden Gate Fields.
$2 WIN  /  $3 SHOW.

#11 Metaboss (Solis / Bonde) will challenge with the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and three strong workouts. This son of Street Boss should be tracking the pace closely and strike in the stretch. He comes in off the win in the El Camino Real.
$2 SHOW.

#4 Wireless Future (Geroux / Amoss) will contend sharing the second highest speed number, a five race progression, and four hearty workouts. This son of Scat Daddy can be expected to sit right off the pace and launch his kick coming into the stretch. He is coming in from Fair Grounds and will be stretching out in distance.
$2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#1 Royal Son (Prescott / Pletcher) should be in the hunt with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two robust workouts. He should be on or near the lead through decent fractions. This son of Tiznow will be stretching out in distance. He has already notched a win over the course.

#5 Another Lemon Drop (Van Dyke / Bauer) could be in the mix sharing the third highest last out speed number, working a two race progression, and putting in two athletic workouts. This son of Lemon Drop Kid should track and close favorably. He moves to the synthetic surface from the Turf.
