Group is a mish mash of non-winners and it appears likely that it will be someones like Dendrite’s or Superstrella’s turn for a photograph though Succinct and and Street Ballad are making just their 2nd turf route starts. Wagon Train (Gone West) is a Weaver-Dogwood firster out of the nice Schosberg stakes mare Mossflower who won the ’98 Hempstead when it was a G1 and placed behind Heritage of Gold in the Diana and Soaring Softly in the Flower Bowl. Unfortunately, she has been completely unproductive and unlucky as a broodmare..

$54k C/O starts here..
As Andy Serling suggested on ATR, watch the board for possible hints in this group of babies with rather modest pedigrees. The connections types — Asmussen, Pletcher, Violette — seem imperative, with Rudy Rod FTS on rail intriguing. Johnny Velazquez returns to the oval today taking calls on Lucky Friend for Pletcher and Stefanie’s Kitten later in the Lake George for Catalano..

Fun, interesting edition of this. Stefanie’s Kitten is solid despite little improvement from her best 2yo form. Centre Court has been advancing steadily since her switch to turf. Schwartz brings yet another Euro filly to N. America in Samitar. Pletcher has undefeated — and largely unknown — Wertheimer homebred Medolina lurking. Is today the day to play with Somali Lemonade? She will finally be an acceptable price at 12-1 and there’s a chance with a lot of pace pressers that things heat up on the backstretch to give her a chance to rally. You sense that Rosario will lose ground on her though and that is the last thing she needs..
