11: Okeyfreight (Velazquez, Johnson)126/20-1
AJS HIGH exits higher-quality race and gets the nod with his class edge. DAMN STRAIT dueled and drew off with late surge for the win last out. NSM SKYDANCER comes in with a three-race winning streak.
3 Frances Genter Stakes. 6 furlongs. State bred. Fillies. 3-year olds. Purse: $50,000.
#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

5: Vidira (Butler, Schnell)122/7-2
6: Simran (Mawing, Rampadarat)122/8-1
FIRSTMATE got her second win last out after a troubled journey to the finish line. CABLOOSIE BAY got collared last race by Firstmate and seeks revenge. HELEN'SPHOTOFLASH will be tagging along in the second fleet, ready to pounce on the front runners.
4 Victor S. Myers Stakes. 6 furlongs. State bred. Open. 3-year olds. Purse: $50,000.
#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds
1: Warrior Boss (Goodwin, Brinson)122/10-1
2: Mr. Jagermeister (Goncalves, Lund)122/1-9
3: Watertonian (Loveberry, Heitzmann)122/12-1
4: Speeding Kid (Mawing, Silva)122/6-1
5: Dixie Blues (Eikleberry, Richard)122/15-1
MR. JAGERMEISTER is strictly the one to beat in the Victor S. Myers Stakes. SPEEDING KID failed as the favorite last out, after having dead aim on the front runner, but not enough left in the tank to finish the job. WARRIOR BOSS will come out firing, and is destined to duel with the favorite.
5 1 mile. State bred. Fillies and mares. 3-year olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $35,000.
#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds
1: Talkin N Textin (Goncalves, Bolinger)124/8-1

3: Seynatawnee (Eikleberry, Bravo)124/7-2
4: Maywood Hope (Mojica, Rengstorf)119/3-1
5: Foxy Footnote (Guglielmino, Bravo)119/5-2
6: Minny O'Prado (Sanchez, Padilla)119/9-2
MINNY O'PRADO broke her maiden last out in her seventh race. Appears to be on the right path for solid connections. MAYWOOD HOPE was a winner two-back, but failed on a sloppy course last out. SEYNATAWNEE won by multiple lengths last race under hand urging.
6 1 mile on turf. Open. 3-year olds and up. Allowance optional claiming: $25,000. Purse: $32,000.
#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds
1: Holiday Mischief (Mojica, Diodoro)120/6-1
2: Domikate (Butler, Tracy Jr.)124/8-1
3: Aces High (Goncalves, Heitzmann)120/5-1
4: Rocket Joe Cooper (Hernandez, McKinley)120/10-1
5: Airlite (Arrieta, Diodoro)120/3-1
6: Charlie Webb (Mawing, Nolen)120/8-1
7: Glacken's Ghost (Hamilton, Robertson)120/2-1
AIRLITE is the one to catch to get the win, and the cutback in distance only improves his chances of holding on at a square price. GLACKEN'S GHOST will be on the prowl from the start and is proven at this level. DOMIKATE steps up in class after getting the victory last out facing softer. CHARLIE WEBB will be doing his better running late in this wide-open affair.
7 6 furlongs. State bred. Fillies and mares. 3-year olds and up. Maiden special weight. Purse: $34,000.
#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds
1: Golden Thunder (Eikleberry, Donlin)120/5-2
2: Classy Shackles (Sanchez, Van Winkle)120/5-1
3: Ooga Ooga Mooska (Goncalves, Rickert)124/10-1
4: Temples Mon Cheri (Arrietz, Riecken)120/3-1
5: Pandora Sky (Lindsay, Fields)120/8-1
6: Wild Desire (Bedford, Riecken)115/6-1
7: Blue Moon Belle (Velazquez, Litfin)120/4-1
In a field with no speed, I'll give BLUE MOON BELLE a shot if she decides to take the lead with jockey Velaquez aboard. GOLDEN THUNDER will be bringing up the rear as the probable favorite, just not sure the pace will be there to get up in time. OOGA OOGA MOOSKA might enjoy the added distance with Goncalves as the pilot.
8 7½ furlongs on turf. Open. 3-year olds and up. Maiden claiming: $25,000. Purse: $19,000.
#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

10: No Mo Itch (Loveberry, Robertson)119/6-1
11: Kilarney Blarney (Bedford, McFadden)119/15-1
12: Paid the Note (Hamilton, Offolter)119/20-1
13: Battle Zone (Delorme, Ashford Jr.)119/15-1
GO FOR MOONSHINE comes in off the bench for trainer Joe Sharp, and has been working well in the mornings for his return. SHO POKE exhibited short-term speed last out before throwing in the towel. ARIZONA and NO MO MITCH will be doing their better running late.
9 1 mile. Open. 3-year olds and up. Maiden claiming: $5,000. Purse: $10,000.

3: Cava Hoyos (Hamilton, Litfin)124/6-1
4: Double Six Domino (Goncalves, Spencer)119/4-1
5: Expect the Man (Arrieta, Rarick)119/6-1
6: Reverend Don (Mawing, Hornsby)124/5-1
7: Strike Home (Eikleberry, Litfin)119/2-1
STRIKE HOME controls his own destiny on the lead, in a field lacking speed. DOUBLE SIX DOMINO will be top pick's shadow out of the gate. REVEREND DON is a deep closer but might need the pace to collapse.
10 5 furlongs on turf. Open. 3-year olds and up. Maiden special weight. Purse: $28,000.
#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds
1: Jazz Loverman (Hernandez, Stoneking)124/15-1

5: St. Biretta (Sanchez, Stuart)120/7-2
6: Sink the Bismarck (Goodwin, Riecken)120/12-1
7: Cinco Star (Evans, Robertson)120/2-1
8: French Dancer (Mojica, Diodoro)120/4-1
9: English Ransom (Butler, Tracy Jr.)120/8-1
ST. BIRETTA finished third in turf sprint last race, and could move forward off that effort. CINCO STAR doesn't need the lead, but might take it if no rival does. ENGLISH RANSOM cutbacks in distance with ample early speed.
