The 102nd running of the $200,000 Grade 2 Remsen features a competitive field of nine juveniles set to contest the mile and one eighth event on the main track Saturday, November 28 at Aqueduct.
Mohaymen is the 8/5 morning line favorite after opening his career with a pair of impressive-looking victories, including his last-out score in the Grade 2 Nashua where the son of Tapit won by 1 3/4 lengths. The Kiaran McLaghlin trainee will add Lasix for his Remson try – a 24% move for McLaughlin, while also making his second start off a layoff of 45-180 days (16%). Jockey Junior Alvarado, the winning pilot for the first two starts, will be aboard once again breaking from post 3. Mohaymen, like several colts in the field, will attempt to negotiate two turns for the first time, but the former $2.2 million yearling purchase is well-bred for the trip.
Flexibility (3/1) finished second while chasing Mohaymen in the Nashua while also making just his second career start. Since that effort, the Chad Brown trainee has worked well in the interim, including a bullet four furlong move November 23, covering the distance in 48 seconds flat – the fastest of 29 workers. Flexibility will also receive a jockey change with Irad Ortiz relieving Manuel Franco in the irons.
Gift Box (4/1) recorded the highest last-out and career Beyer of any horse in the field while winning a maiden special weight race over a sloppy Belmont strip October 3 while going a mile and a sixteenth.
