Spa 5th
2yo 1 1/8

Unusual distance for promining babies. First test for well bred and expensive colts going a classic distance.

#3 RACONTEUR, 5/2
One of the final A. P. Indy progengy out of a Storm Cat mare. Cost $240k and has the breeding to run all day. Dogwood/Pletcher/Johnny V. = short price!

#4 OUR MIDNIGHT RUN, 7/2
McPeek 2nd time starter will be much improved

#6 SPEIGHTSCITY, 4-1
Contessa colt will be a factor from the start. If Javier gets away with easy fractions he may be hard to catch Goes turf -to-dirt after showing good speed in debut.

Ex & Tri Box 3/4/6


Timonium 8th
3yo & up n1x 6 1/2 furlongs

NOTE: post time 4:22 EDT

#3 GLACKETY, 2-1
Expect a short price because I'm loading up!
Major disappointment as a 2yo. Light came on when shipped to Chris Grove. Basically running in and against claimers in here as it looks like Grove had the racing secretary draw this one up special. She is not slow coming out of the gate, but it takes her a while to find her best stride. 6 1/2 should be perfect as she will be passing most of these like they are standing still. Clearly the class of the field and her late speed figures are superior to all. Enough speed in here to set it up perfect for her late run. Top mid-atlantic jockey J. D. Acosta will try to keep her closer early but she will launch her move from about 6 lengths back.

WIN BET and key in exotics 3 over 5/6/7

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
