Saturday's 10th race (4:55pm CT) from Fair Grounds is the $60,000 Sugar Bowl Stakes for 2-year-olds dashing six furlongs on the main track.
#4 LAURIE’S ROCKET
(6-1) chased above par splits (3 wide) before coming up empty in better than
appears Delta Jackpot effort. He does some of his best work in fast track
sprints and shows an improving numbers pattern under those circumstances. He
has enough positional speed to keep the leaders in his sights and can wear
these down under Hernandez. #6 Brown Eyed Josi (7-2) cannot be trusted to run
two alike but the fleet colt has breakaway ability. He could run these into the
ground or finish up the track.
#8 Afford (9-2) romped as the strong choice in
Hawthorne maiden breaker Nov 16. The promising son of Street Sense attracts
Albarado and might be this good.
#1 Exfactor (5-2) flashed versatile ability at
Churchill earlier this year and makes his first start in more than five months.
Was he just an early bloomer or will he continue to develop?
#3 Sherp (6-1)
finished a ½ length behind my top on Oct 30 before getting dusted by Brown Eyed
Josie. She projects a decent tactical
trip under Rosie.
