Airistides Prospect - 11F - P Kenren
WIN Head Trip
PLACE March Hare
SHOW Mircalla
fourth Straton
fifth Inner Storm
sixth Running Through Fire
seventh Flightpath

Straton: By an unproven but incredibly accomplished stallion. Dam also highly accomplished and unproven. Most accomplished at the shorter range of her preference, but a HOTY* winner at longer distances as well.

Mircalla: Stallion is blue-blooded and likely to produce well, but is as of yet unproven. Dam produced good mare Miss Josephine, who preferred turf. Both dam and sire are by two BHoF inductees.

Running Through Fire: As a note, if you want to enter them in prospects, Sammy, it would be much easier to judge if you had the parents linked to Full brother to Reflected In Water, who was a good HOTY* horse. Sire produced multiple good HOTY* horses that matched this distance and surface, dam has had the one HOTY* horse in Reflected In Water. However, it should be noted that 11 furlongs is at the very edge of the horse's preferred distance.

March Hare: Red Herring has already got one HOTY* winner in his first crop and both are HOTY* competitors. The dam's 2yo is a HOTY* competitor as well. Overall a very nice up-and-coming pedigree.

Inner Storm: Sire is a good HOTY* horse but has yet to truly prove himself as a sire. Dam produced good HOTY* horses Awestruck, Key West, and Charmed Weapon. Key West has recently won a leg of the Red Mile, adding classic weight to this pedigree.

Flightpath: Sire's good horse Key West recently won the Red Mile, adding a bit of weight.

Head Trip: Two Hall of Fame parents. Sire unproven. Dam has produced HOTY* winner Aristaeus as her first foal, running at similar distance as surface as this prospect.

All In had some good HoTY exposure this season and was ready to add another win to her record. It was a tight race between these girls and I think if campaigned properly they will definitely be stars for you guys.

FIFTH Monarch's Journey

Monarch's Journey-This was not a great race to try and edge back into HOTY company. I'd suggest trying GHF cups or smaller fields, he's plugged a lot of wins this year he's a great boy, he's just too out of the HOTY loop to take on a field like this just getting back into it. A few small HOTY fields should get him going again.

Turf Races

Monolith Prospect - 11F - P
sunfrost
win Helios
place Bel Fuoco
show Usurper
fourth Cultural Passion
fifth Sierra
sixth Usotsuki
seventh Royal Witch

I judge prospect races mainly based off pedigree with a touch of personality thrown in. All of these horses have the potential to do well. I love the fresh lines of Royal Witch, but as they are unproven as of yet she could not be placed higher than the well-pedigreed opponents that she faced here today.

Mellifluous Maiden - 10F - M
ripley
Win. Divination (neck)
Place. Beneficence

Both of these fillies will go places. I think Beneficence could be a prime CTT candidate in the future with her pedigree, surface preferences and running style.

Place. Bulletproof
Show. Eulogy Rise
4th. Superb Curiosity
5th. Admiral's Lady
6th. The Apathy

Superb Curiosity: While she is sitting on the edge of grade two, she strikes me as more of a sprinter. Without her past races being marked with the distances she's run, I couldn't see her beating out the top three.

Admiral's Lady: She's always been a tough luck sort. I think the field was too big for her. She needs to run much more than just three other times in a year if she truly wants to be successful.

The Apathy: I like her, but she has really come off form and I'm not sure if she wants to run anymore at this point
