1 1/16 Miles | Open | 3 Year Olds Stakes | Purse: $350,000

1 Ring Weekend Centeno D E 116 L
2 Surfing U S A Lezcano J 116 L
3 Matador Leparoux J R 116 L
4 Coltimus Prime Boulanger G 116 L
5 Conquest Titan Bridgmohan S X 116 L
6 Vinceremos Prado E S 120 L
7 East Hall Leyva J C 116 L
8 Cousin Stephen Castellano J J 116 L
9 Hy Kodiak Warrior Saez G 116 FTL
10 Tuscan Getaway Rocco J S Jr 116 L

After one pass through the PP's, this looks like a nice betting race.
And at first glance, I'm kind of interested in Hy Kodiak Warrior.
Especially since I don't think anyone coming out of the Sam Davis is going to win this.

The old version of Conquest Titan would have a very favorable scenario here, as there aren't any dominant early speed horses. I'm wondering if they use a bit of his old speed just for this spot.

Don't Surfin USA, Coltimus Prime and Tuscan Getaway have early speed?

I'm not too sure about Coltimus Prime's dirt speed, as the BRIS early paces figure for his synthetic races are just average. Maybe I'd expect the other two you mentioned to be dueling for the lead, if there is a duel, and maybe Cousin Stephen and Vinceremos.

The BRIS early pace figures for Conquest Titan's two dirt races before they switched styles are over 100. Right now, the best last race E1 early pace figure on BRIS is from Cousin Stephen at 93.

I can't see them messing with Conquest Titan's running style for this race.

I think there's plenty of early speed in this race which sets up perfect for Conquest Titan (not going out on a limb), but I think Ring Weekend might be sitting on a big one as well. This race isn't that strong, so I don't think he's in over his head.
