(# 2) API MOHKAT - Has been given some time off by trainer Bill Badgett after he received the colt from Florida in August. Started once at Saratoga against straight maidens and showed fine early speed. Has very nice five-furlong breezes at Belmont eight days apart in late October. Prado in enticed.

(# 4) Theycallmetater - Very good initial run at Delaware on Sept. 11 just failing to get up. Been on the sidelines since. Trainer Tony Dutrow wins with 35% of his second-time starters.

(# 7) Fufty - Claimed in late August by Bob Bailes. Trainer has regrouped with him since then. Has a very sharp recent work at his homebase of Bowie. Bailes wins with 20% of his new acquisitions first out.

(# 6) Bomber D Back - Closed to get second in the mud at Belmont in first time blinkers last out. Well-backed in both appearances to date. May need to try and get involved a bit earlier.
