Boston Red Rocks($639,455 – 1:50.3) |
T. Tetrick, S.ElliottPeter R. Blood, Rick Berks |
Rebounded with first-over victory in his NA Cup elimination at odds of 3/4. Starting from post four as 3/1 second choice behind non-Pace-eligible Betting Line. Could become ninth horse to win NA Cup and Pace including fellow Elliott trainee Well SaidLast Race: 6/11 – Moh – NA Cup Elim – 1st (1:50.3) |

Lyons Snyder($113,418 – 1:49.0) |

Got caught in the last strides by favorite Betting Line when trying to wire his NA Cup elimination. Drew post two in the Final and was made 4/1 third choice. Son of ’09 Pace champ Well Said continues to develop rapidlyLast Race: 6/11 – Moh – NA Cup Elim – 2nd |

Continues to round into form with only two 2016 starts under his belt. Posted a 26.2 last quarter in his NA Cup elim. Canadian champion drew poorly in NA Cup Final (post 9) but has the look of live longshotLast Race: 6/4 – Moh – Somebeachsomewhere – 2nd |

Scored biggest career win in upset of Boston Red Rocks in $100,000 NJSS Final while lowering his lifetime mark. Skipping NA Cup to prepare for Hempt Memorial at Pocono. Entered to qualify Saturday morning at the MeadowlandsLast Race: 6/4 – M1 – NJSS Final – 1st (1:50.3) |

Y.Gingras, R. BurkeJT45, Burke Racing Stable |
Finished second to top-ranked Boston Red Rocks in his NA Cup elim. Drew the rail for the Final and was Gingras’s choice. Still looking for first win of 2016 after six on-the-board finishesLast Race: 6/11 – Moh – NA Cup Elim – 2nd |

Stayed undefeated in 2016 with NYSS win over Rooney victor Missile J. Also skipped the NA Cup but stayed sharp this past Monday with a 1:53.3 qualifier win at Gaitway Farm on a very windy morningLast Race: 6/13 – Gty – Qualifier – 1st (1:53.3) |

Check Six($463,595 – 1:50.3) |

Drops again after another disappointing effort when finishing 6th in his NA Cup elim and failing to make the Final. Right back in Friday at Harrah’s Philadelphia in a PASS as the 8/5 morning line favoriteLast Race: 6/11 – Moh –NA Cup Elim – 6th |

Must regroup after 6th place finish in NA Cup elim and failing to make the Final. Still feel like this horse has the talent to compete with the top horses, but must put it all together on the trackLast Race: 6/11 – Moh – NA Cup Elim – 6th |

Looks to back up his 20/1 upset win over Check Six in a PASS two weeks ago when he faces that same rival again in Friday’s PASS at Harrah’s Philadelphia. Son of Somebeachsomewhere, who famously lost The Pace to Art Official in 2008Last Race – 6/4 – Mea – PASS – 1st (1:50) |

D. Miller, T. AlagnaAdriano Sorella |
First caught our eye with impressive debut win at the Meadowlands before being shut down for winter. Again caught our eye in Tony Alagna-debut in Meadowlands conditioned race. Inexperienced, but clearly talentedLast Race – 6/4 – M1 – NW2 – 1st (1:50.1) |
