- Foxy Junior returns for Thirty Eight Go GoMaryland Million Distaff winner Foxy Junior will seek her sixth win in seven starts in Saturday’s Thirty Eight Go Go Stakes at Laurel Park.
| RACE NUMBER | CONTENDERS | COMMENTS |
| Race 6 | 2-3-6-7 | #2 Uptown Amanda (5-2): She has been working really well and is by a sire who gets 2-year-old winners. Trainer Scott Lake is 28% with juvenile first starters. This one needs to overcome inside post. #3 Winning Moon (4-1): She also shows works that say she is ready for a big effort. Trainer Kathy Demasi is 17% with 2-year-old debut runners. #6 Desi’s Reward (9-2): Also has shown speed in the mornings. Trainer Lou Linder Jr is 17% with 2-year-olds first out of the box, and this one should be able to get a share. #7 Bruno Barber Girl (7-2): She broke slow against the same in only previous try. Improvement in second start can make her a player with these. |
| Race 9 | 2-4-5-3 | #2 Loverboy Lou (3-1): Won last start at Delaware Park and is going for three in a row. Has the speed to go gate to wire, and trainer is 26% when he won his last start. #4 Cant Stop This Man (5-2): Beat starter foes last out and should be forwardly placed. He is a threat to top pick. #5 Mr Sandman (9-2): Was second last out against three-year-old allowance rivals, tackles older today. He is making his second start off the bench (trainer Randy Allen is 29% with this), so improvement is expected. If he gets the trip will be a major player today. #3 Screen Saver (10-1): He was an even fourth last out against the same. He can improve in his second start of the year and earn a share at a square price. |
