In what seems to be the trend for Pimlico’s Friday card, Coach Rocks is an underwhelming favorite in the Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes. Post time is 4:14 p.m.Ĭoach Rocks slight favorit in Black-Eyed Susan Rocket Heat and Oak Bluffs have both been in good form lately, and Vici could be a nice upset selection. All three of those races were at Gulfstream, but the 4-year old gelding earned increasingly better speed figures in each race. The 9-year old gelding is 11: 7-2-0 at the five-furlong Jim McKay Turf Sprint distance, but up-and-coming Imprimis is 3-for-3 in just three career starts, too. Hogy has been a turf sprinting stalwart for quite a few years now. Hogy and Imprimis set to clash in Jim McKay Essex Handicap winner Hedge Fundlooks good, too, but the race really seems to set up for late runners Something Awesome, winner of three straight stakes, and Rated R Superstar, winner of the Ben Ali (G3) in his most recent start. The Todd Pletcher-trained One Liner is sure to take some money and has just one career defeat, which came against the likes of Conquest Windycity and Mind Your Biscuits. The Curlin colt hasn’t won since taking down the Wood Memorial (G2) last year and was actually eased in his most recent race after giving jockey Jose Ortiz no response when asked to run. Your morning line favorite, Irish War Cry, is a tepid 3-1 favorite, and a bad one at that. Looking for a good betting race? The Grade 3 Pimlico Special is certainly just that. Post time is at 2:39 p.m.īad favorite, good betting opportunity in Pimlico Special There are quite a few front-running types in this field, which could actually set things up quite well for a runner like Bootsy’s Hadenough. Those three are joined by Cicada winner Lezendary, dual stakes winner Almond Roca, and three-time stakes winner Limited View. Also undefeated is the John Sadler-trained Artistic Diva, who has victories on both dirt and turf. That honor went to undefeated Good Move, but at 3-1 she is far from an overwhelming foe. Happy Like a Fool may be the big name in the Grade 3 Miss Preakness Stakes, but she was not made the morning line favorite of the field of 10. Happy Like a Fool headlines Miss Preakness Four other fillies and mares fill out the field. That did come on a sloppy track, though, and the Giant Oak filly has the advantage of having already raced at and won at Pimlico, annexing last year’s Miss Preakness (G3). Vertical Oak won the Prioress (G2) back in September but finished a tiring third in her seasonal bow last month. Ms Locust Point reeled off two straight stakes victories, one of them graded, to begin her year but was most recently eighth in the Madison (G1), albeit beaten by only 4 ¾-lengths. The Linda Rice-trained Startwithsilver is another on a roll, having earned three wins and a show from four starts in 2018. Cairenn, who will break from the rail, has been in fine form this year, tallying two wins and two places in four starts. The Skipat Stakes at six furlongs might have drawn a small field, but it is a competitive one nonetheless.
