Those that have started appear to have edge, but of firsters, #5 Light Weight (10-1) SCR’D being by J Be K catches eye. Young first crop sire has hit with 4 of his 8 first time starters and Eddie Barker can get one ready. Sneaky inclusion and may be lost on the board. Doubt #6 Little Gabby Girl is part of today’s picture, but her dam Kawajlain sparks pleasant memories. Named by owner-breeder Phil Marcantonio for a famed Marshall Islands WWII battle site in which he participated, Kawajlain was trained by Del Carroll and broke her maiden at Saratoga under Mike Luzzi paying a fat $34.00 and keying a $200 early double. She had a very nice career despite having to be moved from barn to barn by her notoriously difficult owner..
