RACE 5
8 AMAZING LAUREN* 8-5 LS PS
9 SPLENDROUS 2-1
6 LADY OF THE FOREST 8-1
3 WINDSOR WOODS 8-1
ANAZING LAUREN chased a deceptively fast pace over a deep
muddy track in last and tired; has only raced over a fast
track once and it was a solid effort, makes first start for
a tag for hot barn...SPLENDROUS set the pace going a mile
and held the place in last; cuts back to a sprint, key
rival...LADY OF THE FOREST broke slow in debut and chased a
very fast filly in a much better field; drops in for a tag
and adds blinkers, should improve...WINDSOR WOODS debuts for
red-hot Allen Jerkens barn.
RACE 9 TURF OR DIRT
8 REIGN OF KINGS* 2-1 LS PS
3 CLASSROOM LEGEND 7-2
1 MR. HADIF 9-2
9 SEREN TRIPPIDY 9-2
REIGN OF KINGS set a fast pace over a sloppy Calder track
going two turns in debut and tired in a big key race;
returns with a trainer switch to a red-hot barn, gets a key
rider change, makes first start for a tag and shortens up to
a sprint; call on turf or dirt...CLASSROOM LEGEND missed by
a head in last start in February, returns with a hot rider
and is well bred for turf.
