UPCOMINGMaiden Claiming $5,000
Maiden Claiming, for 2-year-olds.
Maiden claiming — for horses that have never won, and every starter is also for sale at the claiming price. Typically the easiest class of race.
● Breed: Quarter Horse
● Track record at 300 Yards: 15.08
The shape is the story here: the early pace looks honest rather than contested — expect a fairly run race where class and trip decide it, not pace collapse.
Our number tops on #7 Pk Silver Streak (a tactical type, M/L 4-1). Recent figures: 50 · 78. It needs to turn the form around after a flat last start. Backup is #1 Jess Bleu Goon at 15-1. Use #9 Tk Eyema Dashing in exotic structures.
What would change our mind: a key scratch that reshapes the early pace, a sharp turf-to-dirt or surface switch off the rail, or live money showing up on a horse the board had dismissed. Watch the tote late.
The field, ranked
Our order, top to bottom.
Best Brisnet figure in the field over its last five: 79, with 73 next best. Changes barns, from Francisco Jr Campos to Salvador G Flores.
Unraced so far; the pedigree is Fast Prize Jordan out of Jess Kalies Fortune. Tops the field on Brisnet Prime Power.
Figures are climbing: 39, 49, 73 over its last three. Sheds 4 pounds from its last start.
Unraced, but it has been schooling from the gate (latest Oct 17). Makes her first start with no form to go on, only the One Fabulous Eagle and Lady Estelle Cartel breeding.
A big drop, maiden special weight to maiden claiming $5,000, and worth asking why. Beaten 2¾ lengths for 8th in a 9-horse maiden special weight race at EVD.
Freshened 125 days, longer than anything else in the field. Watch how its recent works look. New trainer: Alex P Clark had it last time, Gilberto Rosales now.
Gets a new rider, Yaidel Rodriguez replacing Leonardo Palomo. 5th last time, 2 lengths back, in a field of 7.
Was running in maiden special weight; today's maiden claiming $5,000 is an easier level on paper. Last out was 9th, 2¾ lengths behind the winner, in a 9-horse maiden special weight race at DED.
Braulio Hernandez takes over the training from Lira Jesus Huitron. Worked 1F in :11.80 on Aug 13, 3rd of 12 at the distance.
Class relief: maiden special weight last time, maiden claiming $5,000 today. Finished 8th in a 9-horse maiden special weight race at DED, beaten 2¼ lengths.
