2. RamielSon of top sire Tapit is out of a mare who won at first asking; trainer Lynch wins at a 29% rate with 2yo first-timers

4. Bobby Rocky JakeShow improved speed in latest

RACE 2

7. Yodel E. A. WhoClassy old veteran nearing $700k in earnings; not the horse he once was but likely too much for these
4. Secret AllianceIn a race light on early speed should find himself one-two in the first half and well positioned to make noise late
3. Gambling TzarShould find the company more congenial in easier spot; two of three to run back from latest won follow-ups

RACE 3 – OFF THE TURF

9. NohaiTrainer Lynch ran out flashy debut winner Caprice, a 13-length winner for the same connext July 20, and has a 33% strike rate with 2yo firsters; dam won first out and then was second in a stake, and sire Gormley hits at a 9% clip with 2yo debut runners
4. Lucky FlayShowed good early speed chasing a wicked pace on debut and while obviously no match for runaway winner Caprice picked up third in a useful bow; can move forward and keeps rider Centeno
8. My CharmBernardini filly is out of a multiple stakes winner for a barn that can win first out of the box

RACE 4

5. Dancing BeautySpeedy sort hopes to seize control of this one early; couldn’t do that in latest but there’s not a ton of other pace in here
7. Majesty’s FreedomBit of a middle move in latest; drop to the bottom should aid the cause
3. BythenumbersDrop to bottom and return to sprinting should move this one forward

RACE 5 – OFF THE TURF

4. City MinuteThis miss has been firing morning bullets at Penn National; sire hits at an 18% clip with older debut runners, and two of three half-sibs won on debut
2. WampyWilling debut when part of early four-horse vanguard before tiring late; improvement likely
6. My Dream Come TrueGun Runner filly has been training well enough at MTH; is cross-entered up there for a race tomorrow

RACING NOTES

  • The remnants of Hurricane Debby necessitated the cancellation of Thursday’s nightcap and Friday’s entire card…
  • Jockey Jaime Rodriguez had a hat trick on Thursday, with two of those wins coming for leading trainer Jamie Ness…

RACE 6

2. Devil Pays in GoldTook the worst of the trip last out when frequently tapping the brakes behind horses but still was willing; a cleaner trip could get it done today
3. Blessed TouchPricey Girvin filly impressed early in her career; maybe a change of scenery helps get her back in form; trainer Stidham solid bringing horses off the bench
5. Spin the BreezeMakes third start off the bench

RACE 7 – OFF THE TURF

6. California SoberTraining pretty well over the strip for career debut; dam was a stakes winner, and a couple of sibs ran well on debut, though no winners
2. HaizumArrogate colt has good figs but hasn’t made much impact on his races; on the other hand, he’s kept good company, including starts at Churchill and Saratoga
5. Big Andy MortImproving sort showed newfound speed with blinks added and back on the main track
