(# 4) LIBOR RATE - Good debut run sprinting on the grass at the Spa. Fine second-place finish for Contessa filly, fighting all the way from start to finish. Experience edge on the surface, and would expect her to be on the lead or just off of it.

(# 6) Backseat Rhythm - Two fair efforts on the dirt at Saratoga for daughter of "El Corredor." Out of a small sampling, trainer Pat Reynolds is 4 for 12 for the dirt to grass move. Has a nice work here on Sept. 8.

(# 1) Mushka - Bill Mott unveils $1,600,000 yearling by "Empire Maker" today. Has picked up her drills of late, but the post is a tricky one at this distance for a debut runner.

(#'s 5 and 10) Country Star and Chauette - Would use this pair in small exacta boxes with the top two selections.
