(3) Fromanothamutha ran the fastest race of his career when he finished second in a similar spot after getting bumped at the start. (5) Daddy Knows was last seen winning the top NY-bred allowance condition twice in a row with his top speed figure back in the spring. (6) Bendoog changed barns to Bill Mott after running sixth in the Dubai World Cup (G1) and will make his North American debut while cutting back in distance.

4^th race [NY, Md Sp Wt, 1 1/16 mi TURF] – (9) Domination got off to a very slow start in his debut, got very far behind, but was able to rally from last to get fourth. (6) Slapintheface has three top three finishes since June with a couple of short breaks between races. Manny Franco stays on board. (4) Bettrluckyrthangood came back from a layoff after his first start while moving from dirt to turf and closed to within a length of the win. (3) He’s a Lucky Guy started his career with a couple of seconds including one against open company at Colonial Downs. Last time he clipped heels.

(4) Snarky tried the turf last time and now goes back to the dirt where he showed early speed twice at Saratoga. (2) P Mutter Pickle was a $125,000 yearling purchase that will make her first start. Sire Vino Rosso is having a great year as a freshman sire. (5) High Track will make her first start for Calumet Farm and Todd Pletcher with some fast works along the way.

9^th race [NY, Alw 75000 N1X, 1 1/16 mi TURF] – (6) Spooky Lady (C) was heavily bet dropping in odds from 9-1 to 9-2 and then pressed the pace to finish third. (10) Supers Lucky Lady was a debut winner in September at Aqueduct when she pressed the pace and beat a horse that came back to win. (7) Can’t Fool Me gets back on the grass which is her best surface when running against state-breds and open company. (4) Linarite finished in the top three in eight of her 11 starts. Last time she rallied from last to miss the win by a head in a sprint.
