8: Write Your Story (Velazquez, Olmstead)122/9-2
9: Bold Ruller (Montoya, Hardy)122/6-1
FASTER THAN HASTA is strictly the one to beat coming off of impressive futurity stakes win last out. PAINTED PRIZE exits maiden breaking win as the favorite. BOLD RULLER is a new shooter with some eye popping morning drills and ideal outside post.

8: Bfourquikgotready (Montoya, Hardy)122/12-1
9: Starveillance (Cruz, Campos)122/6-1
EYES OF A WINNER got a little worked up in the gate before takeoff and deserves another shot if she relaxes before the bell. STARVEILLANCE and BFOURQUIKGOTREADY had brutal starts last out and too deserve another chance.

8: First Flyin Eagle (Martinez, Olmstead)122/10-1
9: Baja Cartel (Swiontek, Livingston)122/12-1
MATTS CORONA has yet to be out of the money in three starts including win last effort. FIRST FLYIN EAGLE was in deep waters last out facing a much tougher field, should enjoy facing today's group. CHICK IN EAGLE threw in the towel late last out and too gets class relief.
4 350 yards. Open. 2-year-olds. Trials. Purse: $7,500.

8: Tellerita (Clark, Jr., Miller)122/8-1
9: Haulin Freight (Goodwin, Pride)122/12-1
LITHE is usually in the picture when things get interesting and is a main contender for win honors. INSEPERABLE EYES would of been undefeated in two career starts but was DQ'd last out after veering in. MASCOUTAH has realistic assignment dropping in from tougher allowance race.
5 350 yards. Open. 2-year-olds. Trials. Purse: $7,500.

9: Bbs Pyc Luckycharm (V'quez, Olmstead)122/3-1
10: Wallykazam (Montoya, Hardy)122/5-2
BBS PYC LUCKYCHARM cruised to a maiden breaking win last out and enters with a lot of upside. WALLYKAZAM won at first asking and freshened up with bullet drill. BODACIOUS PRIZE is unbeaten in three starts but steps up a level.
6 5 furlongs. Fillies. 2-year-olds. Maiden special weight. Purse: $28,000.

7: Trappingsofsilver (Castro, Berndt)118/6-1
8: Razipat (Franco, Biehler)118/9-2
9: Beautiful Bridge (Vergara, Diodoro)118/4-1
JOLT bobbled at the break last out but recovered and got up for second spot. Love to see three works since her inauguration. CHEPINA forced the pace before giving ways to others in a well meant effort. TRAPPINGSOFSILVER bored out a bit at the quarter pole but came back fighting to get up for show honors. BEAUTIFUL BRIDGE is first time starter out of the Diodoro barn with a steady stream of works.
7 About 7½ furlongs. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden special weight. Purse: $28,000.
#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds
1: Blue Key Rosie (Joubert, Hanson)119/5-1

6: Noon (Franco, Lund)123/8-1
7: Raspberry Punch (Swiontek, Livingston)119/10-1
8: Flying Freud (Delorme, Padilla)119/2-1
FLYING FREUD came on tardy to the scene while gaining late in turf sprint last out and should enjoy the stretch-out to two turns. NOON has been on the sidelines for seven months but has two consecutive bullet drills coming in with superior experience edge. RASPBERRY PUNCH should be plenty fit entering off a second best effort on the main track and a sharp bullet drill in preparation for her second career turf appearance.
8 1 mile. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $6,250. Purse: $11,500.
#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

8: Chub's Charmer (Hernandez, W'mann)123/10-1
9: Gotothemax (McNeil, Craddock)123/9-2
LADY BRIGHTON was a six length winner at this level and distance last out and is strictly the one to beat with Butler remaining aboard. SIDEPOCKET BET drops in class off the turf and merits respect if acquires the lead at soft fractions. GOTOTHEMAX drops to the cheapest level in her third year of racing and has a fighting chance in a field full of questions.
9 About 7½ furlongs. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $20,000. Purse: $19,000.
#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds
1: Racinrosemary (Delorme, Padilla)118/3-1
2: Octavia Hill (A. Canchari, Tracy, Jr.)118/8-1
3: Greedy American (Mojica, Sharp)118/4-1

5: Live Forever (Hernandez, Westermann)123/12-1
6: Lady Digger (Velazquez, Scherer)118/6-1
7: Congregation (Joubert, Hanson)123/10-1
8: Eyesadreamin (Franco, Lund)118/8-1
9: Smilingsundae (Butler, McFarlane)123/12-1
LADY DIGGER might try to steal this race on the front end with a field full of chasers. Could prove tough at a price if she can ration her speed. RACINROSEMARY gets a mulligan after tossing her jockey last out after some bumping. Current form fits nicely with this group. OCTAVIA HILL should keep improving after running second best in merry-go-round fashion in turf experiment last race.
10 5½ furlongs. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $4,000. Purse: $10,000.

6: Fire Game (Butler, Turco)123/10-1
7: Trident Hero (Mojica, Litfin)123/6-1
8: Ceeya Tuesday (Keith, McShane)123/7-2
9: Nicolas Cajun (Coddington, Hop)123/15-1
CEEYA TUESDAY ran a respectable silver medal second off the layoff and should remain devoted near the lead from the start. GENERAL ELECTION is the class of the field but most his running has been on the turf and around two turns. Tough to put on top with scoring underneath far too often. FIRE GAME will fly the coop late but not sure if he'll be flattered with quick fractions to close on.
11 About 7½ furlongs. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $12,500. Purse: $13,500.

12: Correspondence (Lopez, Jr., McFadden)123/20-1
13: Emma's Parade (Mojica, McFarlane)119/8-1
HANKYPANK GIRL had some traffic problems last out but still got up for show dollars. Stepping down a level and clean trip could put her in the winner's circle. ATTILA KATIE is all about speed and could be tough to catch cutting back in distance and was gets the rail position. SASSY PRANCE drops for over half the price after finishing fourth last three efforts. Should be sitting in main body of runners before launching late bid.
12 6½ furlongs. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $4,000. Purse: $10,000.

5: Denali Success (Ramgeet, Diodoro)123/5-2
6: Cocico (Lopez, Jr., Bends)123/15-1
7: Saturday's Light (Butler, Padilla)123/3-1
8: Dakota Fred (Mojica, McShane)123/8-1
DENALI SUCCESS got cut off last out at two turns and was taken out of the race. Has been quiet this meet but could turn things around cutting back to sprinting. SATURDAY'S LIGHT is consistent money maker and most likely the one to catch to get the win. Just think he's better at 6 furlongs or less to be top pick. DAKOTA FRED will be on or near the lead as another speedball accelerating the pace. DEJA L'ETOILE needs patient ride to be late closing threat.
13 About 5 furlongs. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $12,500. Purse: $14,500.

7: Slippery Ice (Delorme, Miller)123/10-1
8: Shipmaker (Lopez, Jr., Bends)123/15-1
CONQUEST MOONMAD will try to leave others behind with his quick turn of foot in today's turf sprint nightcap. I SEE BACK will try to duplicate his last turf effort while launching from far back and getting up in time for the victory. Punishing fractions will only help this late flyer. FUSAICHI KID drops from allowance level to all time low cheaper version in hopes of getting to the finish line first from off the pace.

We’ve seen Minnesota teams melt down while other teams rejoiced. On Tuesday, it was the Gophers' turn for euphoria while UCLA looked on in anguish and then blamed the crowd.
