#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Mynameis Prince (Roman, Robertson)124/8-1

2: Deputy Law (Hernandez, Biehler)124/7-2

5: Bootleggin Posse (Lara, Rengstorf)119/5-1

6: Big Boy McCoy (Barandela, Sweere)119/10-1

JOHNNY UP had some nice races last summer but threw in a clunker in his season debut. Expecting a sharper effort for top barn after a couple workouts and a jockey change. WESTA WAVERLY is the "other" Robertson and showed speed in last before getting caught at the wire. Moves up in class. DEPUTY LAW could be the speed if the second pick regresses. Has been improving with experience.

2 6 furlongs. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $32,000.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

2: Westons Wildcat (Arroyo, Rarick)124/3-1

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Tim's Buddy (Lopez, Asprino)124/7-2

2: Rusty Cage (Fuentes, Richard)124/5-2

3: Can He Storm (Quinonez, Silva)124/12-1

5: Epic Drama (Valenzuela, Sanderson)124/3-1

6: Enough Nonsense (Lara, Eidschun)124/8-1

7: Freudian Fate (Harr, Dixon)124/6-1

MR NAVIGATOR was claimed two back by Wong. Showed speed in last and stopped badly. Expecting a tracking trip today with the switch to Hernandez. EPIC DRAMA has shown speed in last two and speed figures are headed in the right direction. Can he pass horses if he doesn't get the lead? RUSTY CAGE also has good early speed but will have company up front.

4 7½ furlongs on turf. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden special weight. Purse: $30,000.

1: Freedom Flash (Quinonez, Hardy)119/15-1

2: Seeking Splendor (Hernandez, Silva)119/5-1

3: Hurts So Bad (Canchari, Robertson)119/9-2

4: Simpson Bay (Roman, Robertson)119/5-2

5: Runaway Harry (Fuentes, Rengstorf)124/3-1

7: Portsmouth (Harr, Dixon)119/4-1

HURTS SO BAD is second off the long layoff for Robertson. Made a middle move before tiring in last but should have additional fitness off that race and another workout. SIMPSON BAY is the "other" Robertson and showed improvement when trying turf for the first time. Adds blinkers and may continue to progress in only his third start. RUNAWAY HARRY had a perfect trip last out and couldn't take advantage but he continues to get better.

5 6 furlongs. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $5,000. Purse: $11,500.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Arnold's Patsy (Valenzuela, Rhone)124/10-1

3: Impulsus (Wade, Kenney)119/5-1

4: Frost Warrior (Lopez, Rengstorf)124/9-2

5: Naughtynaughty (Roman, Candelas)119/15-1

6: Me Say So (Lindsay, Rhone)124/8-1

7: Briar Thicket (Harr, Cline)124/3-1

FROST WARRIOR drops dramatically in class and moves from turf to dirt. Has been flashing speed going longer and now cuts back in distance so may last longer today. IMPULSUS broke poorly in last before rushing up into contention and ultimately tiring late. Looking for a better start today. HOUSE OF TARGARYEN is plunging in claiming price to try to wake up after showing nothing recently.

6 7½ furlongs on turf. State bred. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $36,000.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Icywilburnyeh (Lara, Bedford)124/6-1

2: Surely a Legend (Arroyo, Donlin, Jr.)124/15-1

4: Hunter's Magic (Negron, Litfin)124/8-1

5: Start Singing (Quinonez, Rengstorf)119/5-2

6: Lady Clare (Wade, Bethke)119/7-2

7: Shezonezestreet (Fuentes, Bravo)119/5-1

8: That Would Be Nice (Lopez, Rengstorf)124/4-1

7 7½ furlongs on turf. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance optional claiming: $20,000. Purse: $32,000.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: A Rose for Raven (Wade, Raven)122/5-1

2: Northcut (Roman, Danger)122/15-1

3: Roaming Union (Quinonez, Diodoro)122/10-1

5: Stitzy (Negron, Silva, Jr.)122/6-1

6: Skippy's Strike (Bridgmohan, Bedford)124/12-1

7: Ioya Again (Fuentes, Scherer)122/4-1

8: Two by Two (Hernandez, Scherer)122/6-1

9: Giant Payday (Lara, Eidschun)122/12-1

A ROSE FOR RAVEN looks to be the controlling speed and gets the rail to take full advantage of his quickness. Was pressured up front in last. Shortens up and switched to Wade. STITZY returns home where six of his career wins have occurred. Has a versatile running style to adapt to the race flow. IOYA AGAIN has posted nice speed figures recently but has yet to get his picture taken in 2022.

8 250 yards. State bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden. Purse: $19,000.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Cuervo On Rocks (Estrada, Backhaus)125/12-1

2: Lady Capo (Suarez Ricardo, Hardy)127/3-1

4: Hot Item (Frink, McDaniel)125/12-1

5: Catch the Drama (Beverly Jr., Norton)127/12-1

6: Kowboy Alex (Goodwin, Wilson)127/9-2

7: Caboose On the Loose (Harr, Stein)125/8-1

8: Jess Digs Me (Valenzuela, Norton)125/8-1

RUNAMOK has improved with every start this year. Another move forward puts him in the winner's circle. KOWBOY ALEX raced well on the rail last out and moves outside today. LADY CAPO could improve with a race under her belt for a top barn.

9 330 yards. Open. 2-year-olds. Maiden. Purse: $16,500.
