  • White Abarrio: The favorite at 3/5, trained by S. A. Joseph, Jr. and ridden by I. Ortiz, Jr., White Abarrio is expected to dominate given his impressive track record and recent performances. His consistent form and experience make him the top contender.
  • Mufasa: With odds of 9/2, this five-year-old horse trained by I. Correas IV and ridden by T. Gaffalione has shown strong performances and is a key challenger to the favorite. Mufasa’s proven ability at this distance adds to his appeal.
  • Illuminare: Trained by T. A. Pletcher and ridden by L. Saez, Illuminare has the potential to perform well. With odds of 10/1, this three-year-old colt has demonstrated promise in previous races.
  • Playmea Tune: At 15/1, trained by J. Carroll and ridden by E. Gonzalez, Playmea Tune could surprise with a strong performance. His odds suggest he is a dark horse in this race.
  • Mr Skylight: Also at 15/1, this three-year-old colt trained by R. Mott and ridden by J. Alvarado is another potential contender. His recent form will be crucial in determining his chances.

This year’s Mr. Prospector Stakes promises an exciting race with a mix of seasoned contenders and rising stars. Will White Abarrio maintain his favorite status, or will Mufasa or another challenger rise to the occasion?
