Shadwell's MUAZARAH (Into Mischief) leads a battle of the homebreds in Sunday's fifth race at Ellis Park.

Just to his outside, Unreasonable (Honor Code), racing in the Calumet Farm colors, is out of a half to both GISW Geri (Theatrical {Ire}) and MGSW/MGISP A.P. Arrow (A.P. Indy).

One of a pair of starters for Steve Asmussen, Black Iron (Constitution) is a joint venture for breeders Doug and Felicia Branham and Winchell Thoroughbreds. The colt's third dam is responsible for MGISW and leading sire Quality Road (Elusive Quality).

The only colt not racing for his breeders, The Process (More Than Ready) was a $370,000 Keeneland September purchase last year. His half-brother, Confidence Game (Candy Ride {Arg}), took this year's GII Rebel. S. and he is out of a half-sister to the great Zenyatta (Street Cry {Ire}) and to MGISW Balance (Thunder Gulch).
