Unveiled on a Tuesday, CANDY LANDY (Candy Ride {Arg}) will go to post for conditioner George Arnold not only carrying Martin Garcia but also the hopes that come with a $500,000 FTSAUG price tag. The bay has been seen religiously on Churchill Downs's work tab and has been given 6-1 odds on the morning line. The half-sister to MGSW & GISP Messier (Empire Maker), who was last seen finishing fourth in the GII San Pasqual S., will take on a field of ten with a full docket of also-eligibles. TJCIS PPs

In this six panel dash of 3-year-old fillies, HAPPY CHARGER (Super Saver) and Port Townsend (Uncle Mo) will be separated by a single runner between them. The former is the full-sister to GISW & MGISP Happy Saver and hails from the female line of the great A.P. Indy through third dam Weekend Surprise. The latter is not lacking for family either as the first to the races for an unraced half-sister to two-time champion MGISW Songbird (Medaglia d'Oro). Port Townsend's female line includes the dam of GSW Mico Margarita, and GSW Dean Delivers (Cajun Breeze), who most recently ran third in the GI Alfred G. Vanderbilt H.. TJCIS PPs
