Tomorrow's 2nd race (Thursday, April 9)

"Anita Brewski" seems like the logical hunch bet, to me......
2 Furlong races are generally carded around this time of year for young 2 y.o. horses. Most of these horses are making there 1st or 2nd start. It's an education for them


The only exception I've seen of running these races for non - 2 y.o. are the Rocket Man stakes for older horses at Calder and one other track
