Saturday's $200,000 Donald LeVine Memorial H. at Philadelphia Park, a race won last season by eventual champion male sprinter Kodiak Kowboy, has attracted a field of seven to go seven furlongs. CHEROKEE COUNTRY (Yonaguska), the third-place finisher behind Kodiak Kowboy a year ago, has made solid gains in the interim, winning the Fall Highweight H. (G3) and Valley Forge S. However, he will have to overcome a layoff dating to the December 8 Valley Forge over the Philly Park strip, where he's won seven times in 11 attempts. DESERT PARTY (Street Cry [Ire]) will fly the colors of Godolphin. Winner of the Sanford S. (G2) as a juvenile and a two-time Group 3 winner in Dubai, the four-year-old ran up the the track in two of his last three starts, the March 27 Godolphin Mile (UAE-G2) and the 2009 Kentucky Derby (G1). The potential favorite in the LeVine is RILEY TUCKER (Harlan's Holiday), who exits a career-best triumph in the Aristides S. (G3) at Churchill Downs for Kodiak Kowboy's trainer Steve Asmussen.
