Rebounded with
first-over victory in his NA Cup elimination at odds of 3/4. Starting from
post four as 3/1 second choice behind non-Pace-eligible Betting Line. Could
become ninth horse to win NA Cup and Pace including fellow Elliott trainee

Got caught in
the last strides by favorite Betting Line when trying to wire his NA Cup
elimination. Drew post two in the Final and was made 4/1 third choice. Son of
’09 Pace champ Well Said continues to develop rapidly

Continues to
round into form with only two 2016 starts under his belt. Posted a 26.2 last
quarter in his NA Cup elim. Canadian champion drew poorly in NA Cup Final
(post 9) but has the look of live longshot

Scored biggest
career win in upset of Boston Red Rocks in $100,000 NJSS Final while lowering
his lifetime mark. Skipping NA Cup to prepare for Hempt Memorial at Pocono.

Finished second
to top-ranked Boston Red Rocks in his NA Cup elim. Drew the rail for the
Final and was Gingras’s choice. Still looking for first win of 2016 after six
on-the-board finishes

Stayed
undefeated in 2016 with NYSS win over Rooney victor Missile J. Also skipped
the NA Cup but stayed sharp this past Monday with a 1:53.3 qualifier win at
Gaitway Farm on a very windy morning

Drops again
after another disappointing effort when finishing 6th in his NA
Cup elim and failing to make the Final. Right back in Friday at Harrah’s
Philadelphia in a PASS as the 8/5 morning line favorite

Must regroup
after 6th place finish in NA Cup elim and failing to make the
Final. Still feel like this horse has the talent to compete with the top
horses, but must put it all together on the track

Looks to back
up his 20/1 upset win over Check Six in a PASS two weeks ago when he faces
that same rival again in Friday’s PASS at Harrah’s Philadelphia. Son of
Somebeachsomewhere, who famously lost The Pace to Art Official in 2008

First caught
our eye with impressive debut win at the Meadowlands before being shut down
for winter. Again caught our eye in Tony Alagna-debut in Meadowlands
conditioned race. Inexperienced, but clearly talented
