(# 7) AL BASHA - No doubt horse was going to be victorious in last if he didn't veer in sharply late, losing his rider. Trainer Penna, like his father is a very patient man with his horses, almost never asking much of them early on. Distance is perfect for a young horse that still has a lot of potential.

(# 2) Highly Spoken - One turf race, one victory. Gelding by Good and Tough, ran impressive race, staying up close, going after the leaders on the turn, put them away and then and drew off. Nice speed figure attained also.

(# 1) Super Nationals - Probable pace setter or at least part of the same has been competitive more often than not with this condition. Hedge draw is a plus with his style.

(# 10) Gold Pageantry - Nice come-from-behind win in last at this track, this distance and this post. Has always hinted at some ability, and maybe old man Tesher has him headed in the right direction.
