Superfecta Sunday at Sunland

On this Superfecta Sunday we take in another Kentucky Derby prep down in New Mexico.

Sunland Park Race 11 {Sunland Derby~G3~1 1/8 mile~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}

A talented crew of twelve will enter the gate in this annual Derby prep. There is enough speed to keep an earnest pace. Weather forecast is partly cloudy with some significant wind gusts adding intrigue to a interesting race. Speed numbers are all fairly close as all but one stretch out to this distance. Our task is to lasso a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket. It should be an excellent race for our Superfecta Sunday.

#3 New York Central (Santana / Asmussen) might have the edge with a pressing attack. He holds the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and three fine peaking workouts. This son of Tapit has the tactical speed to race close and then spurt off into the stretch. He is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.

$5 SHOW.

#11 Runaway Ghost (Hebert / Fincher) is the local hope with the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and two favorable workouts. He should be part of the pace scenario if he gets away from an outside post in good order. This son of Ghostzapper has a terrific 83% in the money record from six starts.

#2 Dark Vader (Elliott / Eurton) should challenge with the third highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four high quality, peaking workouts. The connections of this son of Tale of Ekati have him ready for a strong performance.

#1 All Out Blitz (M. Garcia / Callaghan) should contend as he is one of a number coming in from Southern California. He holds a couple of good last out speed numbers and three speedy five furlong workouts. A son of Concord Point, he should be forwardly placed ready to roll.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

#3 New York Central  +  #11 Runaway Ghost  +  #2 Dark Vader  +  #1 All Out Blitz.
