What’s
different about this colt from age 2 to 3? Zeron: “his gait has become more
efficient and he’s a little smarter. He doesn’t seem like he ever gets tired.
He has no bottom to him. let’s hope it stays that way.” Makes his debut this
Saturday night at Pocono against three other RTTMP rivals. He has drawn post
6 and is 3-1 on the morning line.

favorite from post 3 with Doug McNair at the controls. Alagna: “He’s coming
along well. We trained him Tuesday and he was very sharp. We are ready to go.”

from post 6 and will start out at 3-1.

Heading to
Yonkers Saturday for an elimination of the $380,000 Art Rooney after crushing
a weak field at the Meadowlands as the 1-9 public choice. Alagna: “rather
than take everything to Pennsylvania, we figured we’d take a shot going to
Yonkers. I think he’ll get around a half well.”

The 7-2 third
choice on the morning line from post 5 Saturday in a stacked second division
of the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes. Alagna: “He trained Tuesday with Stay
Hungry. We had a little bit of a rigging issue in his last start, so we made
some adjustments. He was a very big colt at 2 and had some issues that he had
to grow out of, which is why he had so few starts (four) last year.”

Has been
saddled with post 8 in the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes division (6-1 on the
morning line) that features Lost In Time and Stay Hungry. Takter: “He was
super in his qualifier. He looked strong. He drew poorly in his race Saturday
and there are some of the best colts in there. He’ll just come from behind.
This horse is real.”

Leaves from the
rail at 4-1 in the toughest division of the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes on
Saturday. Julie Miller: “Oh my! When I saw the entries, it looked like the
Breeders Crown race.” There are many questions that will be answered Saturday
in the Pocono Mountains.

Will take on older conditioned foes at the
Meadowlands Saturday. Alagna: “The most important thing is to get a start in
him. And, yes, he is a Meadowlands Pace-type of horse.”
