Race 8) 1 Mile.Champagne S. Grade I. Purse $500,000 FOR TWO YEAR OLDS
Post Time: ( 4:13)/ 3:13/ 2:13/ 1:13
ADVANCED FORECAST: Mostly Cloudy, High 74 Low 68
Bahamian (7): Ran second to Solomini who came back to run second in a Graded Stakes last weekend at Santa Anita to the likely juvenile favorite. Over the last few years the West Coast colts have beat up on the East Coast.
Honorable Treasure (9): Ran a huge number when getting on to the dirt for the first time and will be tough stretching out at a solid price.
Good Magic (6): Ran a good race first out when losing to Hazit but will have to pick up his first win in a Grade I which is not easy.
Race 9) 1&1/8th Mile. (Inner Turf) Hill Prince S. Grade III. Purse $500,000 INNER TURF FOR THREE YEAR OLDS.
Yoshida (2): Encountered a little bit of traffic trouble when coming up short to Voodoo Song, he’s the one to beat here.
Bricks and Mortar (6): Recorded his first loss last out and will come right back here with a good effort always on the wire.
Hieroglyphics (7): In very good form for strong connections, should be the one they have to run down in the stretch.
Race 10) 1&1/4 Mile G1 Jockey Club Gold Cup S. Grade I. Purse $750,000 FOR THREE YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD
Rally Cry (5): Has been a different horse since coming back this spring; the value is there on the “other Pletcher”.
Keen Ice (7): Much the one to beat, he has turned the corner since entering the Pletcher barn and is a top level handicap horse.
Good Samaritan (3): Might have bounced in the Travers off his big effort in the Jim Dandy, he should rebound well here fresh for Mott.
