Most Talked-About Horses:
Strong fields for all 3 Stakes today! Next year I think I want another Futurity so these 3yos don't always have to race the older horses.

Coolest Name: Zylophone, 00 g c, SRA

Sentimental Favorites:
Wham, 00 ch c, SMR
Parub, 99 g g, SRA

Surest Bet:
BL Knifewing, 99 g c, PAG in race 4B.
