Catch a Flight (ARG) tops the field of eleven as the morning line favorite at odds of 5-2 for trainer Richard Mandella. A five-year-old son of Giant’s Causeway, he has won nine of his fifteen starts and comes into this race off of back to back scores against graded stakes competition. He has been training steadily since winning the Californian (G2) and will have regular rider Gary Stevens aboard as he goes for his first career Grade 1 victory.
Eric Guillot will saddle Moreno as the second choice at 7-2 on the morning line. A five-year-old gelded son of Ghostzapper, he has been on the board in all four starts this year and had a breakthrough victory in the Charles Town Classic (G2) two starts back. He was second to Catch a Flight (ARG) in the Californian (G2) last time out. Cornelio Velasquez will be back aboard and they will break from post eight.
Also in the field at morning line odds of 6-1 is Finnegans Wake for trainer Peter Miller. A six-year-old son of Powerscourt (GB), he will be switching to the dirt after racing primarily on the turf – all seven career victories have come on the grass. He was fourth last time out in the Manhattan (G1) at Belmont Park and will get a jockey change to Mike Smith and they will break from the outside post.
