Full Field Analysis (7 Horses)
PP #1 — Wendy’s Myla
Age/Sex: 3‑year‑old filly
Weight: 114 lbs
Jockey: Elio J. Barrera
Trainer: Aubrie Suarez
Pedigree: Wendy Wend – Alluvials Princess
Owner/Breeder: Hackett Brothers Thoroughbreds, Inc.
Analysis:
A lightly raced filly with strong local connections. Suarez is effective with young sprinters, and the 114‑lb weight break is meaningful. Expect her to show early speed from the rail. A live longshot if she breaks sharply.
PP #2 — Chamois’ Splendor
Age/Sex: 5‑year‑old mare
Weight: 119 lbs
Jockey: Edward Santiago
Trainer: Ronnie P. Ward
Pedigree: Chamois – She’s So Chic
Owner/Breeder: Ronnie P. Ward / Bobby G. Pruitt
Analysis:
A seasoned mare with tactical speed. Ward’s runners often fire fresh, and Santiago is a capable pace‑stalker. She fits well at this level and is a top‑three contender.
PP #3 — Can See Da Feet
Age/Sex: 4‑year‑old gelding
Weight: 119 lbs
Jockey: Julio Ramirez Jr.
Trainer: Sherman Savoie
Pedigree: Divide and Conquer – Bornupatree
Owner/Breeder: Live‑Lee Farm (Lila L. Sessums)
Analysis:
A consistent gelding with mid‑pack running style. Savoie trains both this runner and #4, giving him a strong hand. Needs pace to close into. A useful exotic piece.
PP #4 — Moor to Conquer
Age/Sex: 5‑year‑old mare
Weight: 119 lbs
Jockey: Carlos Lozada
Trainer: Sherman Savoie
Pedigree: Divide and Conquer – Moor N Mountain
Owner/Breeder: Live‑Lee Farm (Lila L. Sessums)
Analysis:
A stablemate to #3 with similar form. She has shown flashes of late‑run ability and benefits from Lozada’s patient riding style. A mid‑price threat if the pace collapses.
PP #5 — Get the Gate
Age/Sex: 3‑year‑old gelding
Weight: 114 lbs
Jockey: Jonuelle Peña
Trainer: Eric D. Nelson Jr.
Pedigree: Divide and Conquer – Vidi Vici
Owner/Breeder: Dennis & Mary Ellen Murphy
Analysis:
A lightly raced 3‑year‑old with upside. The weight allowance helps, and Peña is an aggressive rider. Could be dangerous on the front end if he clears early.
PP #6 — Mr Rager
Age/Sex: 3‑year‑old gelding
Weight: 114 lbs
Jockey: Emanuel Nieves
Trainer: Jonathan Wong
Pedigree: Doc N Bubba G – Ausbrook
Owner/Breeder: Kent & Lisa Gremmels
Analysis:
Wong ships in a sharp young sprinter. Mr Rager has shown strong early fractions and may be the fastest horse early. If he handles the stretch‑out to 6.5 furlongs, he is a serious win candidate.
PP #7 — Unaffiliated
Age/Sex: 7‑year‑old gelding
Weight: 119 lbs
Jockey: Joel Dominguez
Trainer: Aubrie Suarez
Pedigree: Americain – Track Teller
Owner/Breeder: Laurie Sanderson & Nanette Cartier
Analysis:
The veteran of the field. Unaffiliated brings experience and stamina but may lack the early punch of younger rivals. Best used underneath in trifectas.
