THE KINDERGARTEN
The series for freshmen of each sex and gait will make up the Early 50-cent Pick-4 on Saturday. Each has a purse of $125,000. Here is a snapshot of horses who are major players:
· Race 6 (Filly Trot): Orinoco stormed home to win the fifth and final leg last Friday as the even-money favorite in 1:54.2. The Captain Corey-Bonnie Lou product finished third in her Breeders Crown elimination in the start prior, but was disqualified and placed sixth, costing her a spot in the final.
· Race 7 (Colt and Gelding Pace): The Joe Bongiorno-trained and driven Seine (Sweet Lou-Lock Bridge) was dominant in his Leg 5 score, hitting the wire in a lifetime-best 1:50.4 as the 1-5 public choice. He will have his hands full with Starstruck Dreamer (Captaintreacherous-Scarlett Hanover), the Noel Daley trainee who just missed in the Breeders Crown to Blazin Lou.
· Race 8 (Filly Pace): This race shapes up as a great matchup between Miss Dolce (Perfect Sting-Beautiful Candy) and Perfect Body (Perfect Sting-Sweet Body), the winners from last week’s two divisions.
· Race 9 (Colt and Gelding Trot): Obiter Dictum (Tactical Landing-Insolentreusite) was a safe winner in one of two Leg 5 divisions a week ago as the Marcus Melander student was using trotting hobbles for the second time. Melander’s Gustav Vasa (Face Time Bourbon-Ms Emily Mariette) pulled off a 12-1 surprise in the other dash.
